Pros

Working at Wynn was a wonderful experience. I've worked at quite a few companies in Vegas, and no other company gives you such a good mix of the Vegas experience and top notch execution. Seriously, if you want to be part of a company that helps you value and attain perfection, work here. The part I was most surprised about was how NOT stuffy it was. The front desk was actually full of really awesome and reasonable people. Perfection was targeted by company culture, ideals, and goals and NOT overbearing super strict managers. They are all super fair, very friendly and helpful, and most of the time in the trenches right there with you. Their employee dining room is also fantastic! From what I've heard, the best or one of the best on the strip. I still miss it, but workers who had worked there for years said you do eventually get tired of it. I couldn't imagine that, there is such a solid selection and rotation. Training was also phenomenal. It wasn't too hard, and they made sure you were ready before interacting with guests. Not a lot of places pay attention to details like that at other companies, but Wynn is largely successful due to all attention to detail. Honesty, watching the cleaning crew in the middle of the night was the most inspiring thing. No spot is missed.

Cons

All of the cons center around the hospitality industry in Las Vegas. For a period I was "steady extra" which means full time with no benefits basically. To become full time I had to start at the graveyard shift, and that wasn't too pleasant after a few months. Great experience and I'm glad I did it, but it was also a major reason I left. Another major reason is that getting promoted is hard. Well, not hard, if you're great and passionate about your job you will be put on a management track and groomed for the position. What I mean is that it is LENGTHY. I remember a conversation with my manager about being put on track for assistant manager, and she said it would take about 1.5 years. To become assistant manager. Imagine full manager and above! They run a lean management team, much like Apple, which means moving up into higher positions is going to take a long long time. People also love working here, so they don't leave. Ultimately I loved the job, but am way too qualified to suffer a year of graveyard and weekends and holiday work days just to become a manager that's paid nominally more but gets yelled at by angry guests exponentially more (just part of the industry)

Pros

You technically get a free lunch and a one-hour break in an 8 hour shift but good luck ever using it.

Cons

There’s no time. I even feel guilty stopping to drink water or use the bathroom. It’s always going to be your fault if you don’t finish 12 credits with precision and perfection. You risk developing recurring UTIs like me. They know most GRAs can’t take breaks and it’s not even a secret….. but make one mistake, like claiming a credit incorrectly, not finishing a room because the guest came back, or marking the wrong room completed, and all hell breaks loose. They’ll remind you that the company pays you for credits, ignoring the fact that if you had a dollar for each day you don’t take breaks or lunch, you’d have a fortune. It’s a very abusive environment. It’s hard to find a GRA who can meet their standards, and if they find the right fit, that GRA can’t make mistakes. Every mistake is recorded and stays in your file, so they can cover themselves later if they want to fire you.
