Pros

The company was great to work for in general. It's Keystone Resort was OUTSTANDING, in part because of the location but also because of the team and the way the company operated there. You are not going to get rich working there, but you will most likely enjoy every minute of it!

Cons

The biggest down side that I can think of is that there are sometimes really long hour involved in working Banquets for an operation of this size. During "high season", you could work several 12-14 hours days back to back. Other times are much more normal, but when it's go-time, its GO-TIME!!! (and you will work your butt off during those peak times)

Pros

You do get a free ski pass, which is pretty sweet. Some jobs have great schedules for taking advantage of the skiing that's so close.

Cons

Management is promoted based on who they like. Pay is horrible. Time off in the winter can be hard to get. There really is no acknowledgment of your work if the manager above you decides they don't really like you. It did start to get a bit better after they gave us a company wide survey and discovered many employees were unhappy.
