Pros
Great Skiing, lots of chances for ski trips and improving your skills. Good deals on lessons for staff. Great staff, great people. Great reciprocals (discounts to other hills) Outerwear provided free of charge (except boots & gloves) Lots of chances to join staff trips for things like dogsledding and iceclimbing.
Cons
Culture of firing staff rather than fixing issues. They can just hire someone new, why bother retraining? No kitchen in staff accommodations, most staff accom shared bedrooms/bathrooms. Isolated from town if you live on hill (gondola stops at 430pm most days, no rides back up). Minimum wage for most roles, management not much better. Used to have end of season retention bonus, but they took that away when minimum wage went up. No/minimal training for new Management staff. Very few returning staff. No benefits unless you've logged 5+ seasons. Badly maintained staff accommodation facilities. Useless HR, basically there to hand out uniforms and to chastise you if you forget your staff pass. Fired if you're late more than 3 times, but only if your manager doesn't like you, no enforcement otherwise. Old fashioned uniform and grooming policy (No facial piercings, no unnatural hair colours, men must have short hair, etc.) Staff cafe prices rise every year. Uneven/unfair work distribution. Expected to work every day during holidays to "make hay while the sun shines", then in slow weeks expected to be ok with working 3 days/week. Eternally understaffed. Wonder why?? Mostly staffed by Aussies who don't care about work because they're only in the country for 6 months.
