          Ski Coach

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          Free pass (only has one mountain worth skiing in CA/NV; Kirkwood), food discounts, cool families in the teams program, a few cool coworkers.

          Cons

          The majority of the management, both senior and mid level, had nothing but the companies bottom dollar in interest. From the CEO/COO down to ski team management. I was told by a ski team manager that coaches "should not let their athletes progress too fast because then the parents would realize they needed better coaches and a better mountain", and that the goal was to keep them long enough to buy a house at northstar and lock them into the vail ecosystem. This same director drove away an alarming number of coaches, predominantly female. There's no room for misogyny in the ski industry any more. Although apparently Vail/Northstar doesn't feel the same. The bottom line 100% financially based decision making was an utter disappointment for someone who has put decades into the ski industry. The lack of livable pay or easily accessible and quality benefits for seasonal employees is pathetic. You can't survive in a ski town with what they pay, and they expect you to dedicate more time than you're paid for.

        Marketing Manager

        What are people’s thoughts on those personality and logic tests some companies made you do as part of the hiring process? I frankly don’t like them. I understand if the test is for people who more technical but for roles leaning more creative or ideas based - I don’t understand how patterns I’m forced to review in a short time tells them I’m worth it to get the Hiring manager round. One asked me 50 ques in 15 min. And they never tell how you did on the tests

        Anyone have any stories of times where you declined an offer at one company (just because it wasn’t the exact right fit or you got another better offer at that time) and u successfully re-connect? Is that a burned bridge forever? Would they consider you for another job again?
