Pros
Harrah's is a large employer in this area and they have great benefits as a result. The salary range is higher than most employers in this area, however it is still below the national average. I have learned from some of my co-workers which has been an invaluable experience. The company offers training, but only if you are working in a department with a manager who thinks its important.
Cons
I was passed over for three different career opportunities while I was pregnant. I would not like to use this as an excuse, however I have just applied for three different equivalent positions in Memphis area with FedEx, Hilton and AutoZone and ALL three are extending me offers. Discrimination is rampant at Harrah's. My husband and I both agree he was discriminated against because of his race as well as his age. Since Harrah's has been bought by private equity firms, the cost control measures have been dictating everything. This includes layoffs, cutting costs with capital projects, and placing limitations on growth and development.
