Pros

Many opportunities for growth within the organization, ability to apply and transfer to different departments with openings. Benefits, free on site meals, friendly staff.

Cons

Seniority rules over all, shifts are individually picked by employees through a ranking system. Those that have been there since day one pick the best shifts, new hires get whatever is left over and there is no way around it until you've been stuck there for years, no room for advancement through hard work and skill. As far as working in the casino beverage department, not so great. Customers are low class and rude, tips are generally minimal, if a tip is given at all. New hires will generally get assigned to work the worst shifts in the worst locations. Managers are rude and put little to no effort into their jobs, expect a lot of micromanagement. The standard of health is grotesque.

Pros

The company has a genuinely good mission and the core team is passionate about what they do. I had the opportunity to grow beyond my original role — starting in Customer Care Operations and moving into Revenue and Quality support — which showed that the company recognized talent and was willing to invest in people. The work itself was meaningful and I learned a lot across different functions.

Cons

The experience shifted significantly when new leadership came in. The management style changed and it created an uncomfortable dynamic that affected team morale. I felt that some decisions were personal rather than performance-based, which was discouraging given the effort I had put in. The layoffs also raised questions about long-term stability and how people are valued when priorities change.
