      OK at the operational or entry level but opportunities degrade from there up.

      Pros

      Flexible work schedules and ski pass; job perks increase with relatively short tenure. Good focus on employee safety.

      Cons

      Lack of professional ability among management with an overly strong tendency to promote from within based on tenure rather than merit. This creates an inbred culture that is slow to adapt to changing business needs and preserves employees who have overstayed their productive abilities. HR department struggles to help employees with basic tasks, which is a real problem with such heavy reliance on seasonal employees.

      Pros

      Decent perks, cool industry, terrible compensation

      Cons

      I agree 110% with all of the reviews on this board describing Vail Resorts as “Dysfunctional” with “Disconnected Management”. As one of the recently departed from the corporate office in Broomfield, after several years including the move from Keystone, all I can say is that I am glad to be gone and wouldn't recommend to anyone. Over the past 2-3 years numerous corporate reorganizations have resulted in very high turnover and the wrong individuals in the wrong positions. Most people who have been with the company for 1+ year are not very happy and would attest to all of this. Definitely not a place where you want to go in order further or progress a career. At one point in time, not too long ago, it did live up to the perceived experience that you would expect (good company, cool industry, etc…). Unfortunately that has all changed and it has become the “Wal-Mart” of the ski industry.
