      Paid lunch hour and they have free employee cafe but food is not great. Benefits are good but the pay is low.

      Work weekends and holidays low pay unless your tribal and hard to move up unless tribal. Tribal members get paid a lot more and usually are not good co-workers

      Advice to Management

      I worked at Foxwoods Resort Casino full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      Use to be a great place. Management and Tribal members cared about treating employees fairly.

      Good health benefits. Free food.
      Uniforms so clothing cost are low
      Met many great friends there.

      Cons

      Low moral, management and tribe are usually in conflict. You can loose seniority to a tribal member.
      Tribal employees can do the same job as you and make more money. Breeds resentment ....
      Overall...... it's not the place it use to be in the 90's
      When every one wanted to work there.
      Left after 15 years. Management always seem to be in conflict with Tribe.

      Advice to Management

      Hire Quality people, pay a little more. Tribal and non tribal employees get same pay and same treatment. Cannot take seniority away from other employees.

      Pros

      The people I worked with were amazing, the customers like any establishment were hot and cold.

      Cons

      Not enough hours to spread over all employees, very strange dynamic when it came to schedules. One day I could be on for 4 hours for weeks and the next thing I was scheduled for an 8 hour shift

      Advice to Management

      You guys know what you are doing, keep being great!

      Pros

      Exciting place to work. Always busy! Your work is showcased to literally hundreds of thousands of people a year.

      Cons

      Promotion opportunities from within the company seemed lax. seemed to be more focus on finding talent from the outside vs from within. I personally felt overlooked several times while there given the wide range of things that I did there. Not nearly enough promotion for people of color, or women there. Too much focus on positions needing adult education, outside of the department of interior.

      Advice to Management

      look harder at your internal talent. focus on less internal politics. Create promotional opportunities. Be blind to color in your hiring practices.

      Pros

      free lunch. double time and a half for holidays. diverse people.. most coworkers are nice and pleasant to work with.

      Cons

      reviews do not count for anything but to fire people. Everyone get a %2 raise no matter job performance. no growth. you can work very hard for a position but not get it just because a tribal member wants it.. they only have to barely qualify .

      Advice to Management

      Treat like a casino like a business instead of a tribal baby sitting service
