Sweeping corporate policies, insufficient resources and widespread hypocrisy
Pros
- ski pass for the season - employee discounts - benefits program for eligible full time employees
Cons
- minimal wage increases -removal of individual resorts autonomy - toxic culture of overworking - stress on importance of mental health, but when the need for taking a mental health day or concerns about mental health at work are raised these are largely waved off - refusal to adjust the number of lesson products sold even though the resort is understaffed and current instructors are working long stretches without days off - uniforms are not waterproof and are old and tatty - HR removed from all resorts on an individual level and moved to a central location in Colorado. No one I have encountered is aware of or concerned that practices are different in Canada to America and getting through to someone is a long, arduous process. - centralised scheduling means being assigned to lessons that you are not trained or prepared for (e.g. getting instructors over the age of 60 to work with toddler children - not always and issue, but largely is a concern for the safety of all) - management who are just mouth pieces for vail policies - unhealthy and overpriced food - lack of staff accommodation to provide affordable housing
