Mohegan Sun

Most reviews on here for this property are OLD. Currently, Mohegan Sun constantly makes changes to put more money in their pockets and not in their employees. They pile on more and more responsibility to the jobs without any compensation or raises. When you do get a raise, its pennies. If you voice any concerns about any changes, you're basically "blacklisted". Then they just do things to make you so miserable that you leave, or find supposed issues with your job performance so they can let you go. Saw this happen to many co-workers. The hours are terrible. HR tells you upon hire that the department will work with your availability but that is not the case. You work whenever you're told or you leave. Front Line management is great- upper management is HORRIBLE! When you get hired they talk it up how wonderful it is to work there, and how much they "care" for employees, yet they will tell you to your face you are easily replaceable. They are purposely short staffed 100% of the time in order to save money, so the people that are working are swamped. They take out pay for lunches even when you don't get a lunch half the time from being too busy. The ONLY enjoyable part of the job was the relationships built with coworkers. 90% of their employees are miserable but just stick it out because they need to be employed. All the people that give good reviews are brainwashed, or probably only part time employees who don't know any better.They do whatever they can to keep you part time, but have you work full time hours. They'll purposely make sure you're just shy of a certain amount of hours in the year so you cant ask for benefits. And most people don't know they can demand benefits if they work a certain amount of hours- and that gets taken advantage of. Overall, Mohegan is a terrible place to work- so don't let them fool you with how "fun" it is just because they play ridiculous games in their Employee Dining Room, or give you 2 free drinks at property events. They talk a lot about their great "culture" but in reality their culture is walking all over their employees and taking whatever they can from you, and they give nothing in return. Then on top of that, you have to deal with many unhappy guests due to Mohegan continuously cutting any incentives for them to be there in the first place. Do not expect a rewarding career at Mohegan.

I worked for the Mohegan Sun for 11years. It was wonderful until they changed managers at the top of my DEPT  I had received employee of the month twice  I had perfect Attendance. I never had a single point. I was the model Employee . I was well liked. I had patrons calling in telling them how nice I was. 
I got walked out because  I called out the top of  my Dept his side kick and the shift manager.   I told the truth about the corruption in my dept and it’s top management.These two guys at the top and the shift manager had HR lie for them. I caught the shift manager sleeping. The Dept head was a liar. His side kick was doing all sorts of illegal things. I called them out. That’s why I got walked out. Too much corruption to tell here it would take up volumes   They  built up a false case against me. I received 2 ROD’s in one week. They were out to get me. You see if you tell the truth about the top guys. You are gone. 
 They Lied about everything and I got walked out. One of these liars has had his Karma given to him. He is now gone. 
Karma will get the other  Two liars too. 
They don’t stand by their employees. They twist the truth and lie . If they want you gone. They will lie and eventually 
Set you up and get you fired.  That’s what happened to me. I would not recommend the Mohegan Sun to anyone. 
They don’t care about you or anyone else. 
I think the whole company has received it’s Karma.  Business is down. Karma has been served 
Maybe they will start to value their employees and start caring about them 

A typical work day requires a lot of patience because you are working with the customers. You need the patience with a lot of customers and sometimes co-workers. Since it's a service job, the employees must be patient to expect the unexpected.
The management is good but the upper management does a lot of unnecessary things. For example the $.10 salary cut and the shining star card. The $.10 salary cut didn't last for long and it proves to be unnecessary because they were letting a lot of people go (around the time they cut the employees' paychecks). Also, the employee shining star card is originally designed to promote better work habits and better employers. It's a program that gives the employees a star shining card as a reward if the employee has been doing well for the day. Then the employee can drop the star shining card into a lotto bin. The winning star shining card by the end of the month will have the chance to make up their own schedule for the new week. However this system is corrupted because it's a play on favoritism because the managers can give them to their favorite employees. The shining star card system can be a lot better if they could limit the employees to get 1 star shining card per 1 month.
The most enjoying part of my job has to be I feel like I belong to a bigger family. I have friends at my job who help me. I can also learn a lot from the more experienced co-workers and managers. For example if I have a problem resolving any issues, I can depend on my managers to guide me.

I love my job as a supervisor and helping out cashiers and bankers and trouble shooting when things go haywire during transactions . I enjoy the interaction with people and providing the best service I possibly can whether it be with back of the house employees or our casino customers . I think the hardest part of my job is asking myself if I could have done something different or better when a situation arises and you handled it but was there something more I could have done to satisfy the customer or employee . My night usually starts relieving the previous shift and taking over whatever they may be doing at the time and collecting information on anything that might have happened throughout the night , like was our equipment working good or any information needed to make it through the night . Afterwards its keeping my cashiers and banker motivated so that they can reflect this excitement towards their customer service . I've worked grave shift since 1984 starting in Atlantic City and now at Mohegan Sun and I can only speak for management on this shift but here at the Sun , we have pretty good managers and that helps in making or breaking a night . I love a variety of music but salsa is my favorite .I also take enjoyment in spending time with my 4 gorgeous grandbabies  in Virginia ,and my military son and daughter .I love making care packages for my mom in Florida and talking with her on the phone .  I also love to cook and spending quite time with my man .

Mohegan Sun Casino was an excellent place to work. Working in the motorcoach department was one the best group of people to work with. The manager and supervisor were very hard working yet very understanding of employees. They managed to teach every employee everything they needed to know, and was always supportive. I learned to deal with a very fast paced and busy atmosphere, which also included learning to deal with very impatient people with a friendly yet professional and caring customer service to obtain the best results on both sides. Sometimes there would be so many people in line we would have to take care of customers off of motorcoach buses for 3 hours straight, but I liked the hard work and focus it needed, since it pushed me to do better at my job. Sometimes we would have to wait for motorcoaches in snow or sun, which wasnt too comfortable all the time, but it was part of the job. Keeping all the guests happy and helping them in a time efficient manner was very important, and I made sure to do so. This job reguired paying attention alot of details, including the exact time every bus came in, from paperwork to actually signing them in everytime they arrived, checking in each guest by giving them their package agreed upon with the casino.

I enjoyed my time at Mohegan Sun, typically my day started with my uniform, ensuring it was clean and pressed. Then, arriving at the property through security - and swiping in with company ID and collecting my assigned til for cashiering and money tendering. After inspecting my assigned work space I would relieve or assume my shift as bar tender. A shift was typically 8 hours a day - with high volume of customer interactions being in the evenings and all through the weekends, starting on Friday. On average daily sales were over $1,000 daily with allowable +/- variances a day being $2.00. All free- pour liquor bottles were monitored with Capton industry bottle toppers to record service and accuracy from each bottle. At the end of shift I would assist bar backs in securing bottles and taps, inspect the space for cleanliness, ensuring conformity with industry, state and property standards were met. I would collect sales paperwork, arrange and inspect for accuracy - and drop in lox-boxes for company records. I would close-out my cash register, then double bag the daily cash and monies and drop in property safes or in cash recycling machines.

Good work place gives employees PTO, floating holidays and health benefits for fulltime. 401k 3% match for all employees that sign up. Employee apprectiation day- free tickets to six flags amusement park every year, free tickets to return and complimentary food at the pininc grove area in six flags. In additon each year that bonuses were given depending on how your department had done for the year; you could be eligle for a bonus! Paid every week and schedule was given at least two weeks in advance when being released. During holidays if scheduled got paid time and half for part time and on call employees. Full time received double time and half. Paid breaks and fed for free in employee cafateria. Had point system to call out 9 points. Also depending on positon would have 6 PEAS. Personal Excuse Absenses per year. I enjoyed meeting new people and enjoyed working with my co-workers. The hardest part was dealing with the night scence and when there was college buses, I knew the crowd was typically rowdy. The enyoable part of the job was good tips and good pay. As welll as getting to know the friendly regulars that came in to enoy a bite to eat.

I know an employee who actually attempted to file harrassment against a manager who had been ferociously harrassing the people in our department for years and won. I left because this manager was changing my performance evaluations that my supervisor was giving me and HR wouldn't check the cameras or ask my coworkers or supervisors whats up. I was great at my job according to my supervisors. Its a great example of the buddy system the managers have with HR at this place. The managers put things on paper ( Even if its a lie it isn't questioned) so that they look good when the big shots come in to check on them then they take it out on the employees regularly when they cant do their own job properly. Ever since the layoff this past year this has been a huge problem for many people in other departments as well. The only way you can get a raise or go up the ladder in this company is by blackmail or whose fingers your buttering. Doing your job well means nothing here, just how fast you can switch between departments to keep them from lying about you to ruin your reputation.

Management is terrible, upper class management does not care for the people who make this place function on a daily basis, managers are chosen based on who you know, many managers should not be manager because they don't have managerial skills just got there because they knew some or was related to someone. The management does not follow their own motto or own culture, everything in the company is done with smoking mirrors, as long as you believe what they say they are going to do and do the minimalistic job and don't take pride and be passionate about your job any one will fit in perfectly You are nothing but a body to fill the gap for company functionality. You can not get promoted here  based on your work. all depends who's(****) you have kissed and did not tell .
I worked with great people who have dignity, integrity, professionalism and had passion for what they were doing however that means nothing for the company. I miss those great co workers

Always a great time working here. Great staff, good management and a wide range of different events to work, so it kept work new and exciting although I was always bartending. Good hourly pay, good tips, great benefits, hours, paid breaks, good hourly wage plus tips. Not the type of place to just fire you without warning, unless you do something really bad, I had a tough week and my managers noticed and instead of firing me they pulled me aside and said are you having any problems? We talked it out, they helped me and told me to get back in gear. After that I only got better at the job. I only worked for their banquets division, so don’t expect any and all places in Mohegan to be like the department I worked for.
