Vantaggi

Executive team is (mostly) pretty cool to work with. Good COO. Fun group of co-workers. Casual dress code. Efforts at sustainability and being environmentally responsible. Gives support to community organizations. A great job if you don't have bills to pay.

Svantaggi

Absymal pay for non-ski-bum jobs; it's basically impossible to justify working there long-term because - as a full-time employee - I was eligible for food stamps because I made so little in gross salary. The company talks a lot about developing from within, but there is no actual path for employees to either develop skills or advance in their careers. The company's message of valuing their employees doesn't align with their current practice of under-compensating and under-valuing employees. Some managers definitely send the message that employee suggestions for improvement or innovation are not welcome (hint: if you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got). Very little gender or ethnic diversity in hiring.

Vantaggi

- Most people are smart, passionate, and enjoyable to work with and be around. - Fairly frequent opportunities for development and advancement through the internal job board. - Nice perks if you're into skiing or riding.

Svantaggi

- There's an unspoken expectation to regularly work significantly more hours because the majority of employees are very passionate about the ski and ride industry, which isn't great for work life balance. There's not much down time either; you're either hustling in season or hustling to prepare for the next season. - Climate change poses a significant threat to the future of the company. The season pass model mitigates some of the impacts, but not as much as senior leadership asserts. And, since bonuses are tied to company results, you can end up working super hard all year and still end up getting half of your bonus target due to uncontrollable weather conditions. - The culture has taken a serious hit since enterprise transformation work began. Lots of people are constantly stressed out and the atmosphere in the office is depressing. - Most of the time, it feels like senior leadership makes decisions in a vacuum without consulting any of the people that would be responsible for the downstream work associated with the decision. For example, I've seen senior leaders decide on a savings target multiple times without consulting the experts, who then have to scramble to figure out how to make it work. It creates chaos and negatively impacts morale. - This organization has a wordsmithing problem. I've never worked at a company that spends such an inordinate amount of time on the framing of a message compared to the actual substance of the message.
