Vantaggi
People think they want to work at Vail Resorts because of the name and perceived "experience" you may get from being at a ski company. The deal isn't that at all......after spending a number of years at the corporate office its clear the company is trending to become worse with each passing month. You do get a ski pass ($650 value) but thats where the perks stop. If you are 18-25 then this is your company....go for it. If you're 25+ then move on....its not worth it.
Svantaggi
- Vail openly states they pay at the 50th percentile -- although most jobs are much less! - Vacation -- working in the corporate office I've actually had less time on the slopes and traveing -- unless you are in Marketing/Sales/HR/PR of course -- these groups outsource all the difficult work to agencies and spend their time on the slopes, twitter, facebook - Volume of Work -- you don't just do your job, you're constantly taking on "special projects" which are nothing more than tasks that need to be completed due to lack of planning, sheer volume of work, or things to get done because of the extremely high turn-over rate - 401k -- like I said, if you're under 25 then don't worry about it, if you're looking to plan for the future then good luck - other perks -- most companies these days provide things like gym memberships, subsidized meals, RTD/transport passes/discounts, health care, etc. -- not Vail! You get the ski pass, 1/2 off food on the mountain, and deals at the hotels that are usually worse than what the public can get. - The executive management is extremely disconnected -- for example, the last year corporate has had to deal with pay cuts, extra work due to acquisitions, and high-turnover. Yet the Chief HR Officer has the gull to ask employees to submit for Outside Magazine Best Places to Work - ha!! What a joke -- we are light years from this when looking at other companies on the front range and what they offer employees. - Tuition Reimbursement -- Vail offers nothing
