Alyeska Resort

The company has a very high turn over rate and with good reason. Most of the employees that work in this establishment are unhappy and quit. Seems like management depends on new faces to work until they figure out this place is not great. Then those green faces move on when they figure it out, and new faces come in. It is a cycle! Not much room to grow, and why would you want to. The departments all the way up to the top are all low on energy. The mood among co workers in said departments is not happiness. There are a lot of hard working people who deserve more im sure. They don't get more because the management seems to want to spend funds on private helicopters. The hotel it's self could use loads of updates as the vibe was very outdated. Once again money is spent on big boy toys instead. It is very expensive to live in Girdwood and just about everything is about 45min away in anchorage.The company seems to not take any of this into consideration as most all of the staff is close to minimum wage. You have to fight to move up, the upper positions are the only ones comfortable in this town.

There are many departments at Alyeska resort, the front desk was my department, it was a decent job until management changed. It's a great place to get a job if you want to be in Alaska in the summer or winter or experience both seasons. 
Hardest part so many people come and go so management was never consistent. Most departments have a reasonable pay, they do offer employee housing but the price is pretty obnoxious for the number of people in one apartment. You get 20% off at the restaurants and stores in the hotel, winter time you get a free ski pass, you can go up and down the tram and you get two free tickets for friends daily. Many hikes in the area, a small grocery store in town but if you want better deals an more variety you need to go into Anchorage. I do recommend having a car if you can if not make friends with a car.

You would clock in and look on the prep list to find out what needs to be done.  Some of the management team you can go to anytime but there are some them have their favorite people and if you are not one of them you can not talk to them.  

As for a cook they know what they are doing and if you have some difficulty some take the time to train you and explain to you what you are doing wrong or need to improve on.

The hardest part of the job is when you want to learn something and they just tell you that they prefer you not to even if you want to expand in your learning and that is what you are there for is to learn.

The most enjoyable part of the job is to see the peoples faces when you give them quality food an are able to help them out.

Was here for a few months as an agent at the front desk. I felt like I learned so much. From zero to hero. Management at the front office was probably some of the best I have ever worked under. Every question or issue that arose was met with a very fast reply, and solution. The only issue I had working here is the housing and compensation/ lack of substantial employee discounts. To elaborate on the housing, I personally felt like the company was charging way too much. Pay seems decent at a first glance but it is very deceiving. Unless you are very frugal, living paycheck to paycheck is common.

An absolute joke. Save yourself! Do not apply unless you're looking for a career of disappointments. Toxic environment, lack of care for employees from management, housing opportunities extremely limited, no cost of living adjustments, no 401k matching, no bonuses, no clear path for advancement, pay scale far below industry standards for skilled employees, zero incentive to stay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Relaxed and adventure oriented coworkers the are aligned with outdoor culture and bringing their joy of the outdoors and skiing ext… to the customers 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
A few managers were not meant to work with people 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Environment is adventure and ski culture. The company supports bring that to the consumers in a classy experience 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Work, ski, see a band at the Sitzmark

I enjoyed interacting with the guests, but sometimes it was difficult. The good thing about working with the guests was that it strengthened my customer service skills. I also loved the people I worked with, they made work entertaining and enjoyable. The only issues I saw were difficulties in scheduling, and communication between the managers and employees. Overall a good experience.

Not only was I exploited to overwork without breaks (I.E. 16 hour shifts with no break or lunch offered), but the management simply advanced who they picked as their favorites and once you weren’t a part of that, you can say goodbye to any opportunities that they had(if they had any at all). They pay you very well and that’s really the only good thing I could say, because I did feel well compensated purely financially and in no other way at all.  

The area of Alyeska I work in is secluded; away from the rest of the resort & other employees for the most part. There are a few areas in the spa like this. 

While the resort is beautiful, the staff mostly friendly, I feel their employees are not as important to them as they should be. 

Odd on call hours, lack of strict form, poor management in some departments.

7 hours on hill teaching snowboard lessons. My coaching education was furthered on a weekly basing through training. management got the job done and kept the employees happy for the most part. some days were extremly cold and was rough on the body. the best part of the job was the snow and the scenery, i felt very privileged to be in such a beautiful part of the world teaching people to do what i love.
