Don't work here - this place will suck your soul
Pros
-Great coworkers -Discounts on gear
Cons
-Management is terrible. The last straw for me was when I told my boss I needed to work from home one day because my wife and kid were sick that day. My boss (who was fully remote) called me on Zoom and told me I had to go into the office because that was the expectation and if I didn't like it I could find a new job. -Company is poorly run and making bad financial decisions which has led to multiple rounds of layoffs (two in my time there). I wouldn't be surprised if there are more layoffs in the future. -Backcountry puts on this image of having a great work life balance where you can go skiing before work or leave early to go mountain biking. That balance doesn't exist - at least in the finance department. You're way too busy to take work off to go skiing or biking. Working from home late at night was a regular occurrence. I missed way too many good pow days last winter because of BC. -Double standards are everywhere. Depending on who your manager is or what department you're in, you'll be held to a different standard than everyone else. Some employees hardly ever come into the office while others are expected drive all the way to Park City four days a week. -Management is condescending and gives little direction. When I was assigned a task that was new or unfamiliar I was given little direction. When I asked questions my manager would say "You're a senior accountant, you should know how to do this." -More stressful than any other job I've worked so far. -Long and unnecessary commute to Park City -Expensive health insurance
