Pros

People are friendly and are willing to help whenever needed. The work environment is laid back. They started summer hours where on Fridays, if you finished all your work for the week and if your manager approves, you can leave at 3pm.

Cons

The company was better before it got bought out. Management seems to promote their buddies, even if they aren't qualified yet.

Steer clear unless you're currently unemployed

Pros

Well, there are pockets of talent and interesting folks to work with, but by and large this isn't the case.

Cons

The company is barely holding on. Casino business isn't improving and SG's sales aren't either. The business has tremendous (dubious?) amounts of debt. The company can't retain talent, largely due to terrible morale problems, constant M&A/lay-offs ("synergies"), and a lack of reward for performers. The business support organizations (HR/IT/finance) are each totally ineffective due to all of the consolidation/employee attrition and policy merging.

Pros

I had an interesting job being a slot machine tester! The pay was excellent and the benefits included medical,dental and vision at a reasonable price!!!

Cons

I did not like management's decision to relocate slot machine building and testing to Las Vegas, Nevada! I thought we did a great here and was sorry to see it go!!!
