      Pros

      The all mountain unlimited ski pass you receive is far and away the best reason to work for vail resort. Most of the people who work there are enjoyable to be around as well. You work at a ski resort so it is a pretty laid back work environment.

      Cons

      The pay is lackluster and the jobs are mostly tedious and extremely boring. The cost of living at the resort area is quite high as well. There is also very high turnover so management changes quite frequently which can be a distraction.

      Pros

      Ski Pass enables access to 6 of North America's best resorts, most located in or very near to Summit County which makes getting there easy. Health Insurance is great if a full-time, year-round employee. For seasonal employees it is comprable. Extra free lift tickets or discounted lift tickets for friends and family are a plus, making it affordable when someone is visiting. Employee housing is available for certain positions. Personalities of employees around any of the Vail Resorts are helpful and welcoming. Employee discounts for Vail owned properties help employees afford clothes, a meal on the mountain, or general supplies. Access to resort via FREE bus system a big plus to employees and guests alike.

      Cons

      It is a very financially difficult area to live in. Housing is expensive and most of your money is devoted to only that. Certain positions are stressful and time consuming, preventing you from getting your ski or snowboard time in. "Hiring freezes" make id hard to obtain a job. Overtime is NOT allowed. Outside jobs will often leave you in poor working conditions. Praise from a supervisor or manager is little seen, unless you do something really off the charts that is totally unexpected. "Projects" are often handed out and expected to be completed on your own time. Calling in sick is frowned upon unless you have a doctor's note in hand the day you return, so if you can't afford the insurance you still have to pay for the bill. Parking in free lots within a reasonable distance from the lifts is not permitted. If your car breaks down they will tow it. If you park in the wrong area they will tow your car. Employee to employee interaction while on the clock often leads to rude and unacceptable behavior. Off the clock activities or behavior affect your job.
