Boyd Gaming Reviews

Pros

They have 13 properties nation wide. So, depending on where you want to live, there's a property near you(so to speak). There's 9 in Las Vegas,NV. And I think that's where most of the customers are.

Cons

It is very noticeable that there is favortisim from the bosses in the gaming area. The non caucasion and african american employees are felt shunned upon compared to the asian/oriental employees. I can point out mistakes and complaints from customers about certain employees
and there is no reprimand. These employees continue to do things their way with no respect toward others. And I thought it was house policy for all to speak english in ALL public areas of the casino. But, these certain employees continue to speak in their language even inside the 21 pits. All day, everyday. And when I make mention that the policy is english only in the public area, I get some very nasty looks.

Advice to Senior Management

You REALLY do need to re-think the insurance coverage. It is horrible. I know that these are hard times for most of us, but come on, really? I do not have $1500.00 for a deductable, let alone 15 % for my Drs. visit. Just to go through the door for our insurance,get 1 x-ray, and 1 injection was $834.00. That's $381.00 going through the door, $100.00 for x-ray, and $178.00 for injection(cortisone), then the follow up visit is $175.00. If I had that kind of money, I wouldn't need insurance. What happened to the $200.00 deductables? What's the advantage to this so called "Advantage Plan"???? A cash patient gets a great break...through the door $125.00,x-ray $80.00, injection $100.00, and follow up $40.00. So I ask you, where's the advantage?

Recognize talent when it presents itself. There are a lot of very capable individuals that would be great at fulfilling management roles.

Pros

The people in the trenches are often great to work with.

Cons

Boyd used to be a great place to work when Bill Boyd was running the company. Since he retired it has gone downhill fast. "Boyd Style" is no more, instead it has become a place where senior management is incompetent and hires people who will not threaten them. Watch your back if you apply here.

Advice to Senior Management

Wake up and look around. Find competent help and stop the culture of management blaming employees for their own inadequacies.
