Denison Parking, Inc.

When I worked at Denison the hours were flexible and it was M-F.  It didn’t take long to work my way up from training, getting certified, valet, senior valet, and even supervisor. It’s a straight forward job though: Attend guest, scratch check vehicle, park vehicle, return vehicle, repeat.  We had a lot of college students working with us so at times we were extremely understaffed which made the environment extremely stressful. During my time there management wasn’t great. As a supervisor I would go to management with an issue or something that needed attention and they would literally throw it back at the us (the supervisors) for why there was an issue in the first place. Multiple times I came up with ideas to make the work process easier and the lead supervisor or manager would listen, think about it for a few days and then come to the group with a “new plan” like it was their idea. At our location tips were technically not allowed. We had to refuse them at first and only take them if the guest was insistent. I saw valets get in trouble for taking tips but had lead supervisors tell me if it was a $5 or $10 they were going to take it right away. Management at the time would literally sit in the parking garage any hidden spot on a regular basis and watch the workers. It’s pretty bad when your are understaffed with a 45 minute wait for a vehicle and your bosses are just sitting around spying on you to see if you’re driving too fast or what not. 
Overall, it’s a job that pays if you follow the rules and simply do your job. Wouldn’t recommend becoming a supervisor as the extra work and complaints you get from the managers isn’t worth it. 

Denison is a good place to work if you're after a steady job, however the advancement opportunities are hard to come by. If you're wishing to work for Denison, the hours are usually cut and dry unless there are events going on. Event days can last 12 to 14 hours, depending on the location. The health care is fantastic, and PTO is available for anyone who is full time. The typical day at the company varies from location to location, as all garages are different and have slightly different demands. The company tries to help out it's employees and has a fantastic HR department. You will be required to work in all weather conditions, unless it's a state of emergency. Occasionally the customer service aspect of the job can be a little tasking. It's hard to make Denison a career choice, however, as they do not hire well from within. Upon tendering my resignation, they attempted to offer me a project management position. I declined due to their lack of response to a meeting request, as well as already setting in motion moving out of my home, and setting things up in a different state. This is a good company. I only resigned because my ambitions to rise to a higher position did not come to fruition, and for other personal matters which played a key role in my relocation.

Second shift into third shift. Started at 5pm never knew the exact time you would get done. Sometimes 8am the following day. I learned not to be taken for a fool. I was young and should have turned them in to the labor board on a few issues I had with the amount of hours you would work in one shift before you could go home. For example in the winter months is maintenance technicians were responsible for plowing and salting roofs of many parking garages along with an abundance of parking lots. You got paid your same hourly rate you usually did and would work up to 28 hours at once. I have done it many of time. You couldn’t leave until all plowing and salting was done. After you worked that many hours straight the following work day you would have off. So that in return made you not get 40 hours for the week and felt as if you were taken advantage of. I don’t know that is was legal to work that many hours at once especially straight time. They got rich off the backs of young men and we didn’t get anything in return not even a Christmas card. Only thing enjoyable was in the summer being downtown in the evening and enjoy the weather and people as you striped parking lots of scrubbed and clean parking garages. 

Most of my typical days at driving a shuttle bus at Denison in the downtown area has been and most of the time fun. I learned a lot about "people" as one would in picking them up each day. Most of them made your day more enjoyable. My Management person is the hardest person to get along with only because that's the way "He" is from all other past managers I've ever worked with "in my life on a job." Workplace culture is fine. The hardest part of my job is, getting my Manager to understand  me and my past experience and my ideas on the job of making it better, respecting me more for my experience, being "fair" to ALL the employees as for as "seniority" goes, and having driver meetings thru out the year instead of not at all, respecting those of knowing more than he does, giving raises on every employee's anniversary day each year they are there. The most enjoyable part of my job is getting nice responsiveness from my passengers each morning as they greet me and on a regular basis bring us donuts as a treat.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best job I've ever had. I would still be there but we lost our contract. We were outbid by LAZ Parking. Unfortunately all their other locations are on the East coast.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not a lot I can think of. Maybe just making sure your money balances at the end of the day.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Laid back and everyone works hard and is treated with respect. Not much drama at all. I loved that job.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Happy. I remember when I worked there I was happy to come to work. I liked my job. My bosses were all amazing. If you live by a Denison Parking I highly suggest applying. They do have 1 location here in North Vegas.

No matter how much the clientel love you. If you say anything about the job or other employees they will find a way to fire you. Cashier is a very easy job. Plenty of time to study when your a cashier. Supervisor pay is NOT worth all that they ask of you or what you are responsible for. Supervisor is a physically demanding job. Office workers are a little more worth the pay...the higher up you go the better the pay and how they treat you. If you EVER fax or turn in paperwork for ANYTHING (even a dr note) get a certified copy of the transaction even from other institutions. (e.g. your doctors office to hr.) They are very good at NOT or NEVER recieving items turned and faxed in...if you dont keep detailed conformation records. 

Truly a gem of a company!  Still privately owned by the original family that started the firm..  

Every employee is excellent in their role; very lean corporate environment.  

If you are a slacker, don't both coming to work here.  But if you work like your performance makes/breaks the company, you'll definitely be rewarded and appreciated every single day.

The parking industry is not just about filling garages with vehicles; new technology and fierce competition means staying on the cutting edge of technology, customer service, and being a leader, not a follower.

Very humble and hardworking bunch of employees.

Although the wages could be better with the cost of living, Denison Parking is a great company that allows advancement to anyone interested. I started as a part-time driver, like 15 hours a week, and now I'm the Assistant Manager making 30,000/year at 21 years old. My particular location is very flexible with hours as we cater a lot to the nearby campus (IUPUI) so a majority of our staff are students. Working at Denison, I feel a sense of family amongst co workers rather than just peers, it's nice.

I learned a lot from the managers at Denison Parking.  Their is a lot of Positives and negatives that can be learned from any job but how you use it says how you are as an employee.  

Denison Parking is a learning company and their isn't a lot of training that goes into the employees except from the managers to the associates under them.  The corporate office doesn't provide the support to the lower management. If you are in the associate level going into the Management level the support and training is there.  The hardest part of the job is learning the programming glitches that is sent down from corporate when they decide to change the payroll systems.

My typical day at Denison Parking day is to make that employees  
don't park at the visitor lot, cash out guest that come to visit the building. i also do my daily reports make sure they are organize and make sure that our guest are in the right place.what I've learned so far at my current job is customer service keeping a positive attitude always helps out the customer and employee. The hardest part about the job is when the lot get is full, i have to assist customer where they can park i also let customer know were they cant park to make sure they know for they'll wont have any issues. what i enjoy about the is when i know i informed a customer and help them out.
