      I worked at Penn National Gaming full-time

      Pros

      401K , Health care options, chance at learning something new.

      Cons

      Cons are just to many but mostly to many politics inter department issues firing of good employees based on a miss-slight on managements part and / or not just generally caring about people and having it as a revolving door mentality. If you don't fit you won't make it mentality and not being open to giving care weather that person is a union employee or not. Just to many negatives.

      Advice to Management

      Work with your people get them back to that cultural idea of cultivation don't yank the chain on promises. Actual back up your words with them don't subtract to make ends meet. Your people are your bisuness pull with the community not shaking hands. You p/o your customers and employees no one will work for you for to long and eventually that property will not be good to many people wanting the glory days. And a final notice if you see a employee struggling financially help them it will improve there spirits knowing that someone cares.

      I have been working at Penn National Gaming full-time

      Pros

      The people i work with in the Surveillance department are some of the best people i have ever worked in my life, and im honored to have even met some of them.

      Cons

      They do not care about there employee's at all. The Surveillance daprtment is essential to the casino even opening, if were short staffed, and dont have enough people. The casino will get fined $100,000 and wont even open. You think the benefits for these employees would be atleast sub-par. There not, Encore Casino in Boston MA, make more as a starting Agent then my Supervisor make here.

      Advice to Management

      Replace the management, or invest time in actually learning your employees, and what makes the casino run as a whole. Even better invest in your management and train them to be actual managers.

      Pros

      I haven't encountered any yet.

      Cons

      Obvious attitude of not caring about the employees. My property used to be a Pinnacle property in St. Louis, but now under Penn umbrella. Penn executives never came to our property and talked to us about anything. Last week we saw some executives touring the property and within a week it has been announced one of the employees favorite perks of working here are being taken away. The property provided a no cost hot meal for every shift worked and 24/7 salad bar with lunch meat for making sandwiches and an area for cereal and oatmeal. All being taken away and being replaced with options like a hospital cafeteria and a la carte. The perk at least made you feel like a multi-million company cared and now it is obvious we are just a number.

      Advice to Management

      Keep buying your competitors so you don't worry about losing your customers and good emoloyees.
