The company solicits favorable business media exposure, but does not live up to corporate values with regard to pay, environmental responsibility or ethics of management. Employees from line through middle management are drastically underpaid, while the company continues to purchase new resorts with cash outright. It saves even more by recruiting a foreign workforce, cutting corners on building repair and facility maintenance, using volunteer labor in exchange for lift passes, and maintaining substandard salary and hourly pay levels for employees other than senior management. Its infrastructure exists on federal public lands where it notoriously and annually escalates prices because there is a legislated lack of competition.
While recent magazine articles have touted the company's "compassionate culture", the reality is very different. If you're looking for a classic, alienating corporate experience, this publicly-owned company becomes a more discomfiting workplace every year. Talk about transparently/exploitatively managing for the lowest common denominator - this is why the best and brightest here at all levels are continually exiting. Those who stay are often not here because of the company's excellence, but because of the healthy mountain lifestyle and need for family stability.
If you're single and looking for a real career with real economic self-betterment on a timeline, go elsewhere.
