Great ski bum job

Pros

Great hours for skiing. Either off at 3pm to night ski or not in until 2pm. Everyone you work with is also a ski bum so great office mentality.

Cons

Monotonous. Phone sales can really suck sometimes. Pay is awful. Have to deal with way too many irritating customers for how little they pay.

Pros

The teams and people I worked with were some of the best in the industry. Smart and innovative, I learned an incredible amount during my time here. The problem of understaffing usually led to the opportunity to garner more experience in a variety of areas. Essentially you had to wear multiple hats at all times.

Cons

The Corporate center never listened to local market findings, or individual resort direction and also facilitated competition within it's own portfolio. Pay was well below average. Trying to get a pay raise was laughable. Getting promoted was next to impossible. Most of the hiring was external, and those hired usually left within the year. Responsibilities increased with absolutely no compensation. Instead money was spent on the "next-big-thing", which was always created without any supporting infrastructure to run it. Going against the grain would get you let go.

Pros

benefits like season pass, discounted tickets for friends and family, and more discounts and perks depending on where you work.

Cons

Worker's comp is a mess, security for employees could be a lot better.
