Caesars Entertainment reviews

If you are looking for a company to further your career in hotel management, Harrah's isn't it. I have worked with two Las Vegas based casinos (at the front desk) and talk about lack of upward mobility. Harrah's no longer interviews anyone for an entry level management position. They litterly pick out some at random (even someone who has never worked in the department) over all other senior employees within that department. Again, NO INTERVIEWING. Just someone being at the right place, at the right time, and being chosen by the Director of Hotel Ops. Harrah's also has a very poor relationship with unions, especially Teamsters. Harrah's even got cheap enough to cut bonuses given to employees and an annual Christmas gift of a $25 gift card to Smith's, because they over hired non-qualified managers that ate up their budget.

The business never closes, it is open 24/7. This leads to a difficult work/life balance. You work when everyone else is playing (weekends, evenings, holidays). Don't even think about doing something for New Year's Eve, that day is the single largest revenue day of the year, and as such it is all hands on deck! From an operations standpoint, if the project doesn't impact gaming, it will always be a second class citizen. The first things cut from the budget are the non-gaming related expenses.
