Pros

- Days are usually pretty chill if you have no major issues on your tables - Most co-workers and most casino staff are pretty cool to talk to and easy to get along with - Pay is decent enough, but could be better - Benefits are decent

Cons

- Depending on the shift you work, you will either have a decent social life outside of work or it will almost be completely non-existent. - Customers of the casinos can be extremely difficult to deal with at times (a lot of them are grown men and women who throw tantrums like a 5 year old when they lose $20 and there's usually some insignificant sob story behind it) - Some of the casino staff that you'll be working with and talking to (dealers and floorman mostly) are idiots and don't know what they're doing and are complete idiots sometimes. - Ever since Knighted Ventures came into play, it seems like upper management is more concerned about keeping contracts and winning or losing money on some of the bigger action games. It has seemingly gotten to the point where associate morale is at the bottom of their priorities when it should be at the top or a very close second. - It is almost impossible to plan anything due to the nature of the industry and scheduling. Unless you have a good reason (school, kids, second job, etc.), you will almost never have the same days off every week. - They're currently extremely shorthanded, so expect to be working a lot of overtime and a lot of 6 day weeks.

Pros

If you would currently describe yourself as "desperate", this might be the place for you. Great place for ex cons, recent immigrants, or ESL persons. If you can hardly understand English, you can happily stand being belittled on a regular basis. Starts at a living wage as of 2017.

Cons

Your time here will start with a good old bait and switch when PT offers you 19/hr only for it to become 16/hr the first day of training. Little to no room for growth, you're starting at a dead end. Patrons and coworkers constantly bring in new and exotic illnesses from near and far, everyone is perpetually sick. Laughably tiny paid time off and sick leave accruals. Just enough for PT to be able to tell its endless parade of new hires that they offer "benefits". Management is hired internally and very low quality, they have obediently counted chips for years, not necessarily skilled at management. Kissing up and flirting is rewarded, childish/cliquish workplace. Moody coworkers/management/patrons reeking of body odor, cigarettes, and alcohol accepted as "normal" here. Expect regular and overtly hostile micromanagement. Mandatory OT and constant location/shift changes due to heavy turnover. On top of the "corporation" itself being best described as a confederation of gambling addicts. The physical work place of a casino is extremely restrictive and dirty. Cannot bring a bag/backpack. Cannot bring a lunch/food. Filthy bathrooms are regularly closed down. It goes on and on. I honestly regret telling myself it would get better over and over, spent nearly two years learning nothing new and making little to no personal progress. It doesn't get better at PTG, you get numb to the abusive environment or you find a better job elsewhere.
