Winter Park Resort Reviews

Pros

Lots of opportunities to learn and improve with real results in quality and type of work, great independence with guidance from experience, and working outside exploring the mountains.

Cons

Overtime pay is reduced by a percentage for longer term employees, support on busy times of the year can be thin.

Pros

Free pass, rewarding sometimes, tips

Cons

Most toxic work environment I’ve ever work in. The supervisors constantly talk about how they support you, and to talk to them, but when you do, they mostly respond with a condescending tone, and snarky remarks. They don’t help you, they just make you feel worse. They constantly change little details and make it a big deal when you don’t know what’s changed. If you are not certified they will make you feel like a terrible skier, and you will always be on first timer lessons. This department is not about teaching people how to ski, it’s just a way for cocky and high ego men to feel better than you.

Pros

I loved working here. Free mountain pass, free food, and cheap housing it was all around great.

Cons

No real beer in town. Creepy mountain Bros

Pros

Great people and community, outdoor lifestyle

Cons

Entry level pay, suggest certification for more hours

Pros

Free ski pass, somewhat flexible hours

Cons

No formal training. Expectations are not set clearly on your role or how to do it correctly. Pay is unclear and after 6+ months of requesting how “commission” is paid I never received any additional pay or clarity on how to be paid for my work. Manager is rude to guests and employees, unhelpful and gets frustrated when you don’t know how to do anything.

Pros

-Access to a beautiful area. -Good employee benefits on theresort.

Cons

-If you are doing this job after completing your undergraduate education as a gap year post undergrad just be aware that it is not the most stimulating environment. But genuinely nice people!

Pros

Great culture, atmosphere, people, and increasing pay each year.

Cons

Its cold up here! Better be ready.

Pros

Exciting place. Fun to snowboard. Ample breaks.

Cons

I was discriminated against in the workplace. I was doing the job and as much as the average employee but was discriminated due to disability. It is shame that people just want to have a fun time but not help retain their employees. Not a fun experience.

Pros

Good work environment They really allow you to have the ski resort experience, taking ride breaks and lending you the stuff

Cons

If you are not used to work in a cold weather outside it can gets exhausted

Pros

Exciting place, fun people, fun to snowboard, ample breaks.

Cons

I was discriminated against due to a condition. I was still fulfilling all the job requirements. It was unfair when others were putting in the same equal amount of work. They don't try really hard to maintain employees.
