      Pros

      You will always have a job if you can put up with the Casino business. If you are a slot attendant or a dealer, you will make tips that are more than say being a server (they do ok as well but not like the floor). This said, most of the staff feel like they are just gears in the machine and their needs and family life so it isn't for everyone.

      Cons

      Bad management. If these guys were running a Vegas Casino, they would be the joke of the strip. Penny pinching and understaffing works for them in the Canadian casino market where they essentially have a monopoly. But these guys have no damn clue of what they are doing . Patrons who never complained to me when were an OLG casino are now complaining about the penny pinching, the lack of staff on the floor.

      Their HR department is a revolving door of people who get fed up with being the hatchet for a cheap and uncaring upper management. They are also disorganised to the point where they forgot to pay half the casino staff across the country on pay day. Mickey Mouse....

      Advice to Management

      Start looking to larger casinos in Vegas and see all the mistakes you are making . Sloppy and cheap decisions are costing you money. Listen to your employees when they tell you what is happening on the gaming floor. You guys advertise great experience for the gamblers but you fail miserably in delivering. If it wasn't for the fact we unionised there is no way I would stay working for you unappreciative jerks .

      Pros

      Tips and benefits very steady. If you don’t have children or is going to school it’s a steady job I would say it’s a good short term experience not a career the longer you stay the worse it gets. However with better seniority it’s easy to maneuver your shifts, you have the option of working 16-40hrs a week shifts are always available for pickup. Employees are mainly friendly It’s like one huge family living under one roof you become a family after a while.

      Cons

      The company is cheap, equipment and staff is always very low and they expect you to pick up the slack of where those cut backs are taking place. I notice decisions being made never benefits front of house or bottom staff only management and upwards. If you decide to work in a position that involves dealing with the guest please keep in mind that they are spending a lot of money and are 99% disrespectful and entitled and the company almost always gooses the guests over the employees (this also depends on who is managing at the moment).

      Advice to Management

      Be more realistic when it comes to basic situations at work. Customer complaints, low/lack of equipment/respect of unavailability regarding days off and preferred shifts (esp when seniority is high)
