Pros
Pass holder. Dependent passes. 401k
Cons
Not great communication through management and other departments
Continue reading - Current Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
If you are a good culture fit this can be a great opportunity for professional growth, though you will likely be paid at least 10% below market rate with so-so benefits.
Cons
If you find you're not a good culture fit, don't wait to start looking for your next opportunity. There's very little diversity in the company, and people who are different in some regard are pushed out in subtle and not-so-subtle ways. Bullying, passive aggression and other toxic behaviors are commonplace among some senior managers and long-tenured employees. Turnover is like nothing I've experienced before. After years of this same pattern, there's a huge disparity in how new employees are treated compared to the long-tenured MVPs. On the job training is ad-hoc at best, and more commonly non-existent in my experience. Customers are extremely dissatisfied with the guest experience as shown by the dismal reviews on Google, and the stock price has underperformed the wider market by 25% over the past 6 months. All of this together has lead to an overtly demoralizing and dysfunctional corporate culture, and the ongoing exodus of corporate employees is a natural outcome.

Pros
Positive culture for the most part. Offers a lot of perks and opportunity to grow within the company. Environmentally conscious for a medium to large size company.
Cons
Pay is the biggest gripe most employees would have. It doesn't help that Vail Resorts operates mostly in areas with very high housing costs and little inventory.

Lack of staff every where, and made to feel replaceable.

Pros
solid discount, ski pass, exposure to a fast growing company

They don't care about their employees. Over the past 3-4 years they have continued to take away more and more fun perks. It's relentless meat grinder that only looks had how good your last project results were.
