Former Employee – worked at Harrah's Entertainment
Pros – Lots of nice people to work with.
Cons – There is no support from upper management. Would rather fire someone who shows loyalty and knowledge rather than helping them try to work out issues with their manager. Went to another similar company and have been there ever since. To date there have been 8 other people in my position - that should tell you something.
Advice to Senior Management – When a dedicated worker comes to HR or upper management listen to them instead of blowing them off and just hiring someone else to take their place.

Current Employee – been working at Harrah's Entertainment full-time for less than a year
Pros – great employment staff and promised hours. It is a union job and you have shop stewards to back you up. also all hours to choose from since it is a 24 hours establishment
Cons – you wont always get the shift you may want, also some managers say that they listen to you but really don't. based on seniority so you wont get to pick and choose sections until you've ben there for quite some time. and very long training for no reason, it lasts about 3 weeks and seem like its forever.

Former Employee – worked at Harrah's Entertainment part-time for more than a year
Pros – Harrah's guests are pleasant to work with for the most part. I worked in Lake Tahoe, so the guests were happy to be in Tahoe. It was a good place to work while attending school because they worked around my schedule.
Cons – The benefits of Harrah's were amazing at first but they had just been bought by a new company and some of the benefits were cut. A lot of restaurants were closed because of the economic downfall. I started as a full time employee but little by little my hours were cut down to 2 days a week.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
