Pros

I cant really think of one...

Cons

I have been in upper management at Vail for over a decade and each and every year they seem to take more and more form the employee each and every year. For example last year they rolled out their new "innovative" new vacation program called FTO (flexible time off, which is performance based), moving away from PTO (Paid time off, which was accrued). I went from earning/using over 7 weeks paid vacation to only being allowed to take 2 weeks of vacation. Their strategy is to overload management so that they can never meet deadlines, therefore you can not take your performance based vacation. One top of that, the FTO was sold to the employees as an innovative way to attract new talent, then within the next six months they quietly eliminated all health insurance for all new employees requiring 750 service hours first...Work there with extreme caution!! and watch your back!!
