Pluspunten

-Free ski pass -Great people -Well recognized

Minpunten

This company is a bureaucratic nightmare. It somehow takes 2 people to do 1 job because of all the unnecessary approvals and input required. Expect endless and pointless meetings, unnecessary back and forth between teams and an overall lack of knowledge of the ski industry and product as a whole. The people are the saving grace of this company as they are passionate and fun to work with. The company itself is a hierarchical mess. The process to get anything done is painful and full of egos. The creativity is consistently sucked out of the room by safe decisions. There is a reason Vail Resorts is widely recognized within the industry as a soulless conglomerate. From a business standpoint, they are incredibly smart. They entice potential employees with 'perks' such as a free pass, 'decent' pay and an opportunity to work with a cool product. The truth is Vail Resorts has all the stifling culture of working for a large company without the pay. My recommendation is to find a company more rooted within the outdoor industry or to work for a company that will pay you better.

Pluspunten

- 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.

Minpunten

- 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.
