RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Vail Resorts full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Fairly easy job. Super fun environment and amazing boss - Leslie Rembowicz. Great commission on retail sales (on top of $13.50 hourly pay)!!! Free season ski pass to any ski resort that uses the EPIC Pass. You work full time and get 2 days off, so you can ski on those days or in the mornings before work depending on your shift. It was a fun job! I loved it!
Cons
During the winter (peak) season, it gets very busy and somewhat overwhelming if you aren’t good at multitasking. Answering phones, creating reservations, looking up reservations, checking guests in and out, ringing up guests purchases - all simultaneously. Dealing with dissatisfied customers sometimes and learning how to turn the situation around to provide the guest with a positive experience.
Advice to Management
Great job. Loved everything about it.

Pros
Great health benefits, fun people
Cons
Low pay, seasonal jobs, work holidays
Advice to Management
Increase pay like Amazon. Wages are poverty level in Mountain communities. Having a food bank and used clothing for employees is nice thought but not a solution.

Some very passionate employees who care deeply about their clientele and the companyCons
Some employees who only care about getting the free ski pass
Poor pay for little hours depending on the season
Lack of trainings on workplace safety, anti-harassment, and intercultural awarenessAdvice to Management
Hire employees who will respect the community they work and value safety and professionalism
