Pros
This job offers flexible hours, fair pay, always a fun group of people to work with, and great summer job.
Cons
The only thing that this job is very difficult to get. Once you get a job with the company its easier to get jobs everywhere. But it is very competitive, especially being a summer job.

Pros
Fun group of staff, most of the supervisors are really nice, you get paid to ski, free season pass for employees, 20% off food when working, you can make tips teaching private lessons, after the first season you get to pick your own schedule, and if you need time off there are 500 instructors so it's usually not too hard to get someone to pick up your shift or trade with you. If you do the Hyland Way Clinic or PSIA/ASSI certifications your pay will bump up from $8.50 to $9.25 for the Hyland Clinic & $9.75 for PSIA/AASI Level 1. If you get PSIA/AASI level II or III it goes up even more to like $12.xx+ an hour. I think you get a 10 cents raise for each season you return as well. If you teach private lessons and no one shows up then you can get put on call and go free ski with a radio during the lesson until someone shows up which probably won't happen so you just get paid to ski for an hour and a half.
Cons
Instructors have 30 minute breaks between lessons and a 45 minute break for lunch, but are not paid for these breaks so if you work all day you are there 8 1/2 hours, but are only paid for like 6 1/2. Employees have to park in the shuttle lot. Starting pay is kind of low. The chalet is too small and overcrowded. First year staff will most likely have to work weekends teaching group lessons. Instructors have to buy their own uniform jacket. Skis get very beat up from teaching. Temp has to be below -20 or windchill below -40 in order for Hyland to close and lessons to get rescheduled, so be ready to teach in all conditions.

Seasonal work will end employment after 6 months, and then you have to remain unemployed by the three rivers park district for 3-6months before they can re-hire you for another position.
