Pros

Opportunity to be a foundational part of a great community, learn more within the realm of climbing. Pretty chill job

Cons

Poor pay, minimal appreciation of staff from some of the senior directors but at the same time some of the higher ups are very supportive. More than anything just not a very cohesive corporate structure or culture; change is slow

Pros

Working environment is nice. The people are really friendly, and it’s fun to work there. If you want a part time job that doesn’t pay much this is a good place for you.

Cons

Management is paid barely over minimum wage. They keep everyone under full time hours so they don’t have to pay benefits, and you have to fight to make more than $12, even as a manager. The owners pull in A LOT of money, but they don’t take care of their employees.

Pros

When the job is good at Summit, it's great. You're surrounded by great people in an environment focused on passion for climbing, fitness, and the outdoors. Any down time can always be filled with socializing with the interesting visitors or independent tasks of your choice, which is nice. The perks also rock, including free membership and huge gear discounts.

Cons

As much as the job can be an amazing experience and time, it can also inevitably be the opposite. Decisions by management are often poorly(or not at all) thought out, including who gets promoted and manages gyms. Overall, the day-to-day experience is fully dependent on whom is managing and whether there is anything to do. As well, moving up is somewhat pure luck and not something you can expect.
