Chumash Enterprises

Working for Chumash Casino Resort gave me opportunities as I began working there. Climbed to a lead position fairly quick and then quickly then to supervisor. After being the textile supervisor for some time, approximately 2 years I found it in my best interest to transfer departments to Purchasing as a receiving attendant being that I have years of experience in a warehouse prior to working for Chumash Casino. My input as a former employee for Chumash Casino Resort out of 5 stars would unfortunately be a 1 star. For numerous reasons this is my opinion based on my experience working for this company. I do not however believe every department offers the same experience in the workplace. I am friends with other employees in other areas of the Casino whom are very happy with their job. I have always been a person that takes extreme pride in my work and the mistreatment in Purchasing was intolerable and very unprofessional. I do not discourage any person from working there although I do encourage others to explore other options either in the Casino or outside for another company.

Having joined Chumash over 3 years ago and after working for other public and private companies, being at Chumash is a much better experience.  Yes, there are issues and the pace is getting faster, but the people are fantastic to work with and the company really works to take care of its employees (Team Members).  You also have a voice to express concerns with your leaders and can even speak directly with the CEO or member of the c suite.  Not many companies do that.  

Too many perks and benefits to list, but most important is the opportunity to grow within the company.  Get your foot in the door and in 6 months you can move to other available jobs whether you want to work in the casino as a dealer, or become a firefighter for the tribe.  

Generally an 8 hour day and it does get crazy on weekends, but the day goes by fast.  

Definitely the place to work in the Central CA coast.

Worked there for 6 years. Started at the bottom and while they were correct about promotion opportunities, the pay they give for stepping into higher rolls is not enough to compensate for the loss of tips. Management does not keep its lower employees well being in mind. What ever will make the company more money regardless of consequence to staff is what they will do. I made great money initially in tips but after a year the amount went down by a third and pay did not increase. I took a promotion but felt uncomfortable keeping this position based off of the things I heard and saw take place in management behind the scenes and returned to my tipped position. After spending time away during quarantine I realized how bad of an emotional toll working there took on me and I quit. Benefits were nice there but it just wasn’t worth my peace. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best flexibility and good people 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Understaffed most of the times 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Really nice everyone acts like family it was hard not to talk to nobody 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I would get picked up at 0600am by our company provided bus. I’ll clock in at 0654am to start my shift I either got assigned a role or a job but mainly we would get Floor for our schedules and that meant to stay on the gaming floor and help out our guests, patrons, employees, and others. We would assist in Medical calls weather it be a Employee injury or a guest medical. Overall my day was just helping and making my presence known. I would clock out at 1454pm

typical day would be getting on the gaming floor, walking around the floor to monitor guest and employees are following all casino rules. I get called to take poker chips from the chip vault to table games. Then get other calls such as recovering lost and found items, and taking them to out information desk where items can be claimed. I also walk around and if I see guests or employees having any type of problems that need medical assistants, I get on my radio and call for our on call EMTs to help people in need. 
Hardest part of the job is staying awake ten hour shifts during grave yard shift. 
Most enjoyable part of the job would be meeting new people and talking to fellow employees during our time at work.

Filthy environment. Drunk patrons urinated on carpet, hotel hallways, dropped cigarette ashes on floor and could be rude, demanding, condescending.  As an Investigator, pay and benefits good but very little pay difference between a new hire vs 20 year veteran. Direct supervision was excellent, really enjoyed working under them and I was made to feel appreciated, but advancement next to nil. Employee could leave for a year and rehire with old seniority which created some animosity and some to eventually leave.  Enjoyed majority of staff that worked throughout the Casino. 

I still remember the first day of work at Chumash Casino. From the managers to co-workers everyone was positive and friendly. This was my first job and they made me feel welcomed. My typical day of work was greeting guests and having a smile on my face everyday. I learned how to give excellent 4 diamond service. The casino is a large hospitality and entertainment company that is dedicated to deliver exceptional guest service and I'm glad I got the opportunity to work here. It's a competitive pay and also has a flexible transferring departments. The hardest part of working there was the extra 2 hours on the employee bus to take us there and back. But what I most enjoyed working here was the friendliness and flexibility about this company.

They really need to cut the chase with their on boarding program, you don't matter. Nepotism runs rampant in every department, bad management seems to be actively swept under the rug, HR is there to actively make any situation they're in 100% worse, you're basically immune to any consequences short of murder if you're tribal or work in an office. Good management doesn't last, executives will smile through their teeth at you one minute and fire someone without notice the next as a personal favor, entire willing to make an example of someone just to keep people in check. Overall one of the most corrupt places I've ever had the displeasure of working for.

I worked at The Chumash Casino Resort from December 2003 to
Aug 2006. I worked as a Facilities Custodian in that I did a whole lot of cleaning around the Casino Resort. I cleaned Gambleing Machines , Floors , Restrooms and did other duties as asighned.
I learned how to clean and use the proper chemicals and work hard.
I enjoyed working with my co-workers because at times it was fun to do so. The hardest part of the job though was cleaning up Blood and other Human Waste, You just had to turn your Head and just do it.
The most enjoyable part of the job that I had was I was given the chance to volunteer for Concerts and sit down after seating people.
That was really cool because I got to earn extra money and enjoy a concert also.

If you are not one of the friends of the managers, they will not  consider you to work. There is so much favoritism that the supervisors will turn a blind eye to whatever thing that is strictly forbidden on the rules to certain employees. If you arent an attractive woman or tall, they womt accept in you in the best places. HR does nothing to help as they are only there to collect a pay check. Guests are rude and disgusting as they spit on the floor and dump their ashes on the floor. It is very unclean and pay is awful for many departments except for anything that has to do with tables and machines. If you are in desperate need of a job, steer VERY far away from here. You will have luck elsewhere.
