      Pros

      The benefits are good, i.e. ski pass and health insurance.

      Cons

      The corporate mentality is overtaking the fun. New rules and restrictions enacted all the time, with every decision geared towards making the company more money.

      Pros

      The adventure, the opportunities, work-life balance. The fact that one can maintain a professional career and advancement while living in the mountains and never worrying about my daily commute.

      Cons

      Compensation overall may be in-line with the ski industry, however, for professional positions it falls short. Dilapidated facilities in California.

      It's great, just accept you are part of bottom-line corporation that is a slave to Wall Street expectations, not yours

      Pros

      Access to a sport you love in your free time. Outdoors culture, teaching what you love.

      Cons

      Access to a sport you love in your free time. That's tongue-in-cheek for the reason behind the unlimited access to low-wage employees who do not see the mountain as a career, but a pit stop. This seemingly inelastic supply allows for wages that in real terms (i.e. after inflation) continue to go down while lesson prices increase at double-digit rates. You are a profit center they love with very little power over how much you earn as a portion of that $800 plus lesson. Great for a season or two, not so great for a career. The economic rent you pay for doing something you love is an economic decision you have to make. Accept it, or find something else to do.
