What don't you like about working at Vail Resorts?

"Vail resorts spends like a child at a candy store and then tries to figure out how to pay for it later. THe marketing team is so consumed in there personal lifes and stories that they forget they are trying to attract business. They do not know how to make proper decisions and more often than not personal emotions play the major role in big discussions, HeidI Kertcher Pratt is at best a mediocre marketer who I feel makes wasteful decisions. They are notorious for the fighting between the other mountains and when corporate needs to flex muscle they rarely do."

"I think they need a new approach to the marketing team. The new CEO Rob Kats is a step in the right direction, now if they could match his ambition with talented marketers Vail would see themselves on top."
