Pros

most of the people who work here care about you and your success. If you cannot find a solution it is usually easy to find someone that can. the experience for the guest is top notch. Once you are established in the company the pay program is decent. It is hard work to get to that level!

Cons

short work year, expectations are not always attainable even doing above and beyond level performance. It sometimes surprises me who gets the recognition within the company. I am not in management, but some of the most amazing job performances that I see daily are from the people low on the totem pole that receive little to no recognition and the least amount of pay.

Pros

The best work environment EVER. Seriously working on the mountain ws a dream. Lots of good folks on the front lines too, met a lot of fun folks. No regrets

Cons

The pay absolutely sucks. The company does everything it can to pump up real estate prices (for their profits), then pays so poorly you can't live there or even near there. Management is so tight they squeak when they pee. Foreign workers brought in to lower wages, many Mexicans, and you can guess their immigration status... The cons more than made up for the pros.

Pros

living and working in the mountains

Cons

no upward movement in the company. college graduate with a business degree who took a low level job in a company that promotes itself by saying they hire from within, doesn't. after 2 years of working at a low level, low paying job while trying to move into a business or management field it became clear that it wasn't going to happen. so 2 years gone without any experience to help get ahead in any other field, and no help from the company you thought was going to be your life.
