Pros

Easy work, unless you have problems counting 8+7 Pay is not bad but could be better (see cons)

Cons

Your working in a Casino around people (patrons and coworkers) who have issues, many issues. They hire more idiots than competent employees and then they promote and allow said idiots to manage and supervise. They scare and intimidate their employees with write-ups and they are constantly making up rules just to enforce something. (maybe flex their muscle to keep you at bay, I don't know) The promotion and salary structure are both wrong, I was told I would get a .50c raise every year no matter what. That was a lie, it didn't happen. The company bases promotion and salary increases on a set of ridiculous tests that "they say" measures ones speed and ability to count and monitor a game. Your, ability to control a game situation, your interpersonal skills, your communication skills and other important skills that make someone good at this job are not accounted for. If you are a mindless drone who is ani social and a good test taker you will love this job and all you have to do is sit back relax for 8 hours a day and collect that paycheck. A union would benefit and protect these employees but no one realizes it. I guarantee this company would raise hell if employees unionized.

Pros

Decent starting pay. Training is comprehensive. Once you get the feel for the job, it is really easy. Everyone starts as a Gaming Associate, so management has a reference point for any complaints or viewpoints.

Cons

Tons of OT, sometimes without being asked. 6 PM - 2 AM can easily work until 3:30 or 4 AM more than 2 or 3 days a week.

Hi! Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience during training and on the card room floor. Yes - all managers and corporate team members (including HR) have worked as Associates, and we try to stay close to the issues as much as possible. That said, we're not perfect! Overtime is certainly a part of life for a lot of us right now, and we recognize that while some people love the extra pay, others prefer to clock out ASAP! We're working around the clock to optimize the schedule and boost our numbers. But - at the very least, we are hoping that if we do need you to stay overtime, we are giving you sufficient notice. Please reach out to your Lead Supervisors or HR and let us know what's going on. It's helpful to get specific feedback on our areas of improvement, so don't be shy! And once again - thanks for sharing your experience.

Pros

Lots of different shifts to choose from Company tries to give back to keep employees involved with events like fundraisers or holiday parties, etc.

Cons

Favoritism everywhere you look on the casino level. This company is not about what you know but who you know and how much extra work you're willing to put in. The pay seems good, to someone who is green to casino life... once you get into the casinos and you see how much the dealers make, you quickly realize how grossly underpaid this job is. The managers at casino level are so under experienced in managing other people, there is little rhythm or reason to decisions made by people in charge and upper management isn't in the casinos enough to see it. The turnover rate for this position is outrageous, a close tie to McDonalds. These positions take a lot of training to get prepared for but this company makes you feel easily replaceable
