Vail Resorts Response
11yThank you for your very candid and positive review. We agree that our Market Research team is a great job for those that want to be outside and really want some firsthand knowledge of what drives our guests to come back year after year. This position is a great launch point for further development into our Marketing Department and other teams throughout the company. Every year we take on a number of compensation initiatives. This year we decided that one of those initiatives should address and support many of our entry level positions from housekeepers and cooks to retail sales associates and lift operators, which is why we are announcing a Vail Resorts Minimum Wage. Effective this September, if an employee was making less than $10.00 per hour, their hourly rate of pay will increase to $10.00 (with the exception of Grant Teton Lodging Company where housing is free or if an employee is in a gratuity based position and making a minimum of $10.00 per hour with tips). This is the first step in a long-term plan to increase our minimum wage with inflation each year and stay competitive in the employment market. Thank you for a great season last year and we hope you come back this year.
