Pros

Gear discounts, location in Park City UT.

Cons

Today is your last day here. Or maybe it's tomorrow. You can't be sure which day you'll get let go, but you will live with the constant fear that today is that day since everyone is completely disposable at this place, even in upper management. And the shocking thing is for how long that's been the case. It's been that way for years. Talk to people who live in the Park City community and this is well known - everyone knows someone who has been let go by this place. My advice is not to take a job here unless they pay you twice what you're worth so you can stick the extra in the bank to live off of when they let you go. Unfortunately they're only going to pay you 1/2 your value, trying to sell you on "how great" it is to work there. Stay away and find a job elsewhere. You'll be glad you did. I'm looking for something new before my day comes.
