Jobs have been cut because of the economy. Because of these cuts however, our service level has taken a toll.

We need to put our guests first. Serving them in a timely manner is the most important. We need to hire more employees!

Large well-known Company-- good for resume, internal hiring initiative,discounts, great health insurance, discoutned daycare, appealing work environment (telephones, computers facilities),

cliques and favoritism, can be "locked-in" by a position and hard to advance or do something different within the organization. Too concerned with physical appearances.

Consider that developing the talents of all of your employees, not just to favorites!

Managers that do not consider the feedback from employees

Advice to Senior Management

Take more time to listen to employees about their concerns and/or requests

Pros

Great benefits and options available to all employees. Flexible work environment in most departments. Co workers are kind and happy.

Cons

Hard to get a job here. Lots of kool aid drinking required. Too many decisions made thousands of miles away without taking into account our organization. Senior management sometimes has Ivory Tower syndrome.

Advice to Senior Management

Please start acting on suggestions from your employees. Its great when you ask for our opinions, but if nothing happens, we simply get jaded and stop thinking about making the organization better.

Pros

They have a good benefits package and do a lot of good company sponsored community work that they encourage employees to participate in. Free computer and management training tools and a great online learning program. Excellent diversity training program.

Cons

Big problem is that upper and mid-level management does not always follow by the training and accepted behavior that they promote in theyre classes. Lower management salaries are very low and in a lot of cases lower than the employees they supervise.

Advice to Senior Management

Follow by the guidelines that you promote and pay more attention to the knowledge of line-level employees. If you want to be the best, sometimes you have to pay for it. Many talented employees will not advance to management because of lack of pay. This is not using your resources (employees) effectively.

Pros

medical and dental benefits are really good

Cons

not flexible with hours or schedule

Pros

MGM MIRAGE is a very large presence in Las Vegas, NV. Due to this they offer employees an excellent package of benefits including a full range of optional coverages in addition to top of the line basic benefits at an extremely reasonalbe cost to the employees.

Cons

Communication from Sr. management downward to the "average" troops is inadequate and far too limited. Studies have shown that feeling knowledgeable is one of the primary things in making for satisfied employees. Unfortnately, this is sorely lacking in many areas of MGM MIRAGE.

Advice to Senior Management

Make sure that information about how the company is doing and / or planning for both short and long term is effectively diseminated to the rand and file employees as well as managers and directors. This is even more critical during these uncertain economic times. There have been far too many cases of well qualified personnel leaving the company because they feared for their future. The right communication would have perhaps eliminated this concern.
