Pros

Decent starting pay. Training is comprehensive. Once you get the feel for the job, it is really easy. Everyone starts as a Gaming Associate, so management has a reference point for any complaints or viewpoints.

Cons

Tons of OT, sometimes without being asked. 6 PM - 2 AM can easily work until 3:30 or 4 AM more than 2 or 3 days a week.

Knighted Ventures Response

Hi! Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you had a positive experience during training and on the card room floor. Yes - all managers and corporate team members (including HR) have worked as Associates, and we try to stay close to the issues as much as possible. That said, we're not perfect! Overtime is certainly a part of life for a lot of us right now, and we recognize that while some people love the extra pay, others prefer to clock out ASAP! We're working around the clock to optimize the schedule and boost our numbers. But - at the very least, we are hoping that if we do need you to stay overtime, we are giving you sufficient notice. Please reach out to your Lead Supervisors or HR and let us know what's going on. It's helpful to get specific feedback on our areas of improvement, so don't be shy! And once again - thanks for sharing your experience.

Pros

Company invests in it's employees. The casino industry is very tough and compared to other companies out there they make an effort to take care of their people and their communities.

Cons

The company as gotten very big and sometimes you get lost in the shuffle. There is still some 'learn as you go' situations but Knighted has really come a long way to develop internal leadership, curriculums and training structures.

Pros

There’s always work to do. If you’re like me and don’t enjoy being idle, that can definitely be a positive. You have some really amazing people that you meet in between.

Cons

Leadership lacks direction and consistency, there’s little to no real accountability, just a pattern of deflection and blame-shifting. Good people often leave due to mismanagement & dysfunction ( & not the good kind).
