Caesars Entertainment reviews

2008 was a year of changes for Harrah's and it brought a new management team to most of the hotels. These management teams cleaned house and left us with pretty much the worst apples of the bunch. 401k matching was taken away, hotel staff was cleaned out, strict rules were put into place in order to find ways of letting go of staff members without having to pay them unemployment...ect... Management meetings consisted of how many more people we can let go and how can we make things uncomfortable for other team members so they would quit (so upper management wouldn't have to lay off...again...to avoid unemployment). Once you got on this new management's bad side you were there for life. These elephants don't forget. Focus was taken away from employee development and now put into "Project Green" to save the company money. Hotel guests ALWAYS come first at Harrah's as well. To the point where if one guest complained about you doing your job, the way you were instructed and trained to do so, upper management would force us to write up the lower level employee. Harrah's new motto was "Write up first, ask questions later." No one ever bothered to check to see if there are obstacles standing in the way of doing your job.

Some of the non-critical HR exercises they have you go through are daunting, inordinately time-consuming. Forms for the sake of forms. Meetings and follow-up meetings about the meeting you just had. This industry is hectic enough without heaping on such heavy doses of minutia. A little bit of a tattletale culture too
