Pros

Came for the lifestyle and it delivered. Provides the usual perks for a chalet host. The work is easy provided you have any common sense. Resort and Chalet managers were great.

Cons

Company is far too centralized. Head Office dictates every decision when they should be delegating to managers in resort. This lead to a fair amount of friction. Company seems to be on the way out. Squeezed from the low end chalet companies and the high end alike means making a living catering for the middle market difficult. Heart seems to have gone out of ownership and head office. never received ANY feedback from guests, may have been a quirk, but from experience it was only negative feedback which was ever fed back to staff in resort.

Pros

Working in the mountains and some good colleagues.

Cons

- Extremely low pay. - Resort managers who had never worked a ski season and had no language abilities. - Head office treated resort staff terribly and sacked a few of them for very little reason, leaving us short-staffed. - Inappropriate behavior between management and resort staff. - Expectations put on chalet staff were crazy. - Company owner and her right-hand man are horrid and treat all of their staff with disdain.
