The guest is everything, the employee means nothing.

Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee)
Verona, NY (US)

I worked at Turning Stone full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThe position I was in held a fair hourly wage for the area, however my managers reminded me on a fairly regular basis that "payroll" took too much out of the departments budget, and my hours were taken by lesser paid employees. However, I have found that there is great team effort between employees at the same level.

ConsLong hours, supervisors forget to give breaks or chose not to (I have waited up to 45 minutes to use the restroom), poor planning and scheduling by management. There is a huge storage issue for each department, supplies could be extremely far away which causes customer service to slow down. Management can be verbally rude and boarding abusive, degrading employees an treating everyone as children. It is near impossible to advance. Most managers and supervisors have a lower education level than most of the people they oversea. Many higher positions are also filled by people from outside the area and state. Interviews are unprofessional and untruthful about actual
job conditions. Customers can be rude and disrespectful, and also destroy and steal items from the grounds.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Terrible work environment

Anonymous Employee (Current Employee)

I have been working at Turning Stone full-time for more than 3 years

ProsThere are really no pros to working at this place...unless your stuck in the area and are in desperate need of a job.

ConsThey will promise you everything to get you through the door. Management, especially supervisors of various outlets are awful and very inexperienced. It''s a very negative work environment and employees are just angry all the time.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Good Part-Time

Marketing Representative (Former Employee)

I worked at Turning Stone

ProsThe people are mostly friendly, and everything is fast-paced so the day goes faster.

ConsToo much customer/patron interaction--it will make you DESPISE people.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe biggest issue I thought was the extreme limitations employees have inside the casino once employed. I suppose I can understand some of the paranoia about possible rigged gambling--but why not any access to the hotels? That doesn't make sense.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
