Pros

Health benefits and perhaps lunch breaks....?

Cons

Where to begin... I’ve never worked for an employer feeling like a slave until I worked here. Casinos are rough in general, but this one takes the cake. They have their favorites and for the most part, do not put their employees in regard to anything. Even before the pandemic, they were terrible, and at that time prior to quarantine, they started charging their employees to eat at the employee dining rooms. They cut costs everywhere, and stress the entire team with unrealistic expectations, therefore forcing employees to work overtime in low-salary positions. They got rid of the experienced employees and replaced them with “looks good on the surface” upper management; people who have poor knowledge of how certain departments work. Not only did my boss manage the team poorly, I they did not even understand what I did the entire time, and added on work since they ‘thought’ I didn’t have enough on my plate. They also don’t do raises... not even cost of living raises... There is hardly any recognition for the teams they have. No employee appreciation parties... only for the investors. They seem to look down on their employees. In summary, they treat their lower income employees poorly.

Pros

The team you're with will be the most galvanized, stress-tested group of determined people who have your back.

Cons

Absolute clown-show of an organization that thinks the answer to fixing their broken processes is to do more of the broken processes, faster. You will be expected to put in 10 hour days. You will be expected to take on tasks beyond your comfort and scope of role. You will be expected to make up for everyone else's mistakes, and any suggestions for improvement will be met with derision, condescension, and a dismissive attitude. You will be reassured that they encourage feedback, are open to change, and that a role of leadership means you get to influence policy. None of this is true. Politics play heavy here. Your mistakes will be dragged out and paraded in conference rooms. You will be condemned and berated until you give up trying to improve the place for your team and look for a job elsewhere.
