Pros
Free ski pass, some friendly folks, great mental health, and health insurance programs, and insurance.
Cons
Very overworked. Poor project management due to unrealistic timelines. Acquisitions and projects make it impossible to care for your staff the way Vail preaches you should. Fast growth is allowing poor leaders that are not exporters of talent to move into Sr. Managment roles. Lame duck VP's.
