Pros

Good deals on their ski and golf. I guess it is easy to give something away that doesn't cost the compamy a dime.

Cons

Don't ever expect a raise. I guess Boyne feels cheap skiing and golfing makes up for their unwillingness to pay people what they are worth. I was offered a job at Boyne 17 years ago in maintenance. The starting wage was $10 p/h. I agreed to except my current position last year in maintenance for $10 p/h with the understanding aftera year and "proving myself" I would get a raise to a living wage. Well it's a year later and I am still making $10 p/h. Then comes the song and dance about the resorts out west having a bad season and there will be no raises this year. Nevermind the fact the resort I work at had it's best year in 2014 and is on track to have a better year in 2015. Golfing and skiing deals are great but I can't pay bills with it. I guess if you need a job till something better comes along go for it, there will always be a place for warm bodies here. Absolutely not a place to have a career.

Pros

Free lift tickets, beautiful location, the culture amongst seasonal staff is unbeatable, seasonal workplaces offer many opportunities to move up when you have less experience

Cons

Worked too much to use the free lift tickets. Never worked less than 55hrs/wk. Usually understaffed, difficult to find reliable employees because everyone goes there to live on the mountain. Corporate structure is frustrating. It's difficult to get anything done because it has to go through so many people and often end up doing things yourself. Maintenance, bless them, are swamped so, as hard as they work, it still takes them ages to get to anything that isn't so urgent it supersedes all else. There isn't enough employee housing so half the staff comes in from Bozeman every day. Four hours travel time they're not paid for which is a huge hit to morale and leads to people getting burnt out or quitting. Healthcare plan is worthless.

Pros

Good place to work if you just want to ski. great mountain, free ski pass as long as you are full time, resort discounts. Depending on the job you might get ski breaks. Pretty easy to advance up the chain of command.

Cons

I worked for boyne for 3 years and was a supervisor the last year i was there, and all i learned was terrible management skills, after all, our employees are "expendable." If you are in management it is not a bad job as long as you can live up to company standards, have no morals and treat the people working for you like dirt, well i guess they are getting paid dirt wages. I think my first season i made 7.50 an hour working 45hrs a week and i was supposed to live on that in a ski town? I've worked for many resort company's and this was by far the least i have ever gotten paid, but at least you get to ski.
