The location is the biggest challenge. The closest town is Truckee, where cost of living is really high and the pay doesn't match that cost-of-living. Even management is likely living paycheck to paycheck. High turnaround due to seasonality: you're working with a different team every season, this means retraining, rebuilding of culture, and an awkward structure, this includes management. Cliques do exist, favoritism exists, and employee housing is the only affordable housing for baseline employees and its basically a frat house.
