Seminole Tribe of Florida

Long story short for those that don't want all the details, the Seminole Tribe is a great place to work genuinely.  You will learn a lot, I do believe the tribe as a whole cares for its employees, you will work with some amazing people, and health benefits/401k are pretty nice.  I really enjoyed my time there and wish I didn't have to leave, but that's where the bad comes in, something eventually has to give when it came to pay (for me specifically). 

I worked hourly for the tribe, not salary, so that was a nice benefit because as a videographer you will make a fair amount due to overtime.  The con there is you will no questions asked be working overtime, and holidays at that.  There is a lot of labor involved with shoots and setup, but that is production life.  Management is friendly and cares for you as a human, but unfortunately it is a business and they will not go out of their way to help you excel and grow because there is very little room for vertical growth. You will learn a lot about the Seminole Tribe and its culture which is quite fun.  There are quite a lot of projects that you get to work on and experience that you probably won't get in any other place in Florida, but the majority of those tasks will get quite repetitive year to year to year.

My biggest issue and concern at the end was pay.  I gave five years of my life and hard commitment to the tribe.  I truly cared for my position, the people I worked with, and the tribe as a whole and I thought that showed.  Unfortunately that was never seen.  I received one raise throughout my five years there.  During COVID, it was just me and one coworker leftover, the rest of the team was let go.  We busted our butts and did an impressive amount of work with just us two alone.  We both did the same job, the same work, and he was getting paid a hefty amount more than me, and we both knew it.  After 6 months of it just being us, I opted to go to my bosses to ask for a raise, they came back to let me know now wasn't the right time and I was fortunate to even be employed.  A few weeks later, they hired a new employee making well over what I was.  Not long after that they hired a senior editor, making well over what I was, and not even considering to offer me the position.  Overall it just felt like I was forgotten and left behind in a sense and that truly hurt after as long as I had spent there.  From that point I decided to move on, and move on I did.  Growth can be good sometimes and I'm happy I have been able to find worth elsewhere in the field.

Don't even know where to begin in describing the level of wrong doings that this organization puts out. Upper management has no idea how to keep a professional work environment or even how to perform the most basic of business practices. If you have any ideas that would make the company money or be beneficial for the company, they won't consider it unless the right person proposes the idea. They set some up for success and others to fail based on if you're a tribal member, liked personally by a manager or are have good looks. Brains don't matter as much as looks.

Most executives never even arrive to work and have their managers run everything for them. When it's time to make a decision, execs have no back bone what so ever, even if it is the right thing to do. Managers are more concerned with how you look than how you perform. So many times I saw different cases of harassment and misconduct, yet nothing was ever done about it. The Tribe is always looking to blame others or find a scapegoat for tribal members errors, even if it is not legal. They don't care so long as the tribe comes out ahead. Not to mention the huge amounts of racism that exists. Doesn't matter to them, they don't have to adhere to any employment laws or regulations.

Forget about ever getting a raise or moving up the ladder. They claim to be losing money yet make billions on their casinos and crooked businesses yet they can't give a raise to the actual people who bust their tail on making that company a success. Stay away from working here if you wish to be happy at work and become successful.

Working for the tribe has been the worst job experience of my life. I liked working at McDonalds as a teenager better than this. A lot of the non tribal member employees are more aggresive and hostile and treat others worse than the tribal members do.
The environment is fear based and the managers ignore everything that is wrong. Work environment is from 1980 no flexibility in schedule. They do things one way and no changes or new ideas are allowed.
They are deceitful and once you take the job it is not at all what they made it out to be. They lie to your face and smile. The tribal members I have dealt with have not been bad, it is the non native american workers that have been there for a long time that are horrible to new employees or those that dont think like them.

There are some racist overtones against blacks, hispanics and asians. Comments like " sanchez, Gonzalez its all the same, or you know how those people are." It's a nightmare working there, seriously I feel like I am being punked most days I am there.

Working for them is like being in a big dysfunctional family, and if you speak out against what is wrong you get ostracised. Managers see the aggresion and hostility towards some employees and ignore. It is like living in Stepford but worse. They smile and have lunches and pretend everything is great but it is not just.....it's a nightmare!
I'm ready to run for the hills.

Stay away! Management are liars. They tell you one thing in the interview and then you start and all of a sudden the job is not what they made it seem. There are two camps there they people that have been there for years and perpetuate the lies and deceit and those like me that are un happy and looking for a way out. All the negative reviews are true. It's not the Seminole people, it's the people that work for them. The entire organization is run like nothing I have ever seen. I have worked for government and corporate America and this place is a mess. I have never been so unhappy at a job. I'm giving my notice next week. For me it's unbearable. Think twice about taking a job here. The entire job culture is a mess. 5 other people in my department started with in a year and are all miserable and looking to leave that says something. Upper management is clueless and middle management covers up so much. I'm ashamed to include this job on my CV. You can never speak directly to anyone it always has to go through at least 2 other people. Employees that have been there for a long time are hostile towards new employees and often bully and demean them. I have seen this and experienced this. It has been a nightmare.

They treated their employees very badly, no regards to their safety or health.  Only the call center employees were required to go back to the office after our initial 2 or more week shutdown.  Once we returned we were required to wear a mask take a temperature test before our shift started but usually we never got any leniency for our time if no one was there to take the temperature. Desk we supposed to be social distance but there was another person sitting directly next to me on more than one occasion. People would be positive and we were not advised unless they reviewed the tapes and thought we weren't following protocol. I got exposed and got tested and never got paid for the time they advised they would pay me for. I got approved bereaved for a grandmother passing and still haven't been paid for the bereavement period. It was a nightmare and im so glad I left!

A typical day at work as the Asset Accounting Manager for the Seminole Tribe of Florida (the Tribe) involved the management and oversight of the Tribe's Fixed Asset Department.  This position was responsible for both the accounting and operational aspects of all the Tribe's governmental and privately owned fixed assets and construction accounting.  There, I strengthened my accounting, managerial, analytical, technical, interpersonal, project management and public speaking skills.  I managed one project accountant, as well as the Inventory Control team consisting of one supervisor and four inventory control specialists, and one fixed asset clerk.  The workplace culture there was very structured and controlled, with a strong emphasis on ongoing HR training for all employees. The hardest part of the job was having to be cognizant of the political nature of working in a government.  The most enjoyable part of the job was having the pleasure of working with a great crew.

I was in charge of managing the tutors hired to help the students stay on task at school. The Seminole Tribe of Florida has the luxury of paying for each one of their student’s tuition to attend private schools. Since the students had to keep an above average GPA, I was assigned to job to find each student academic support. The tribe also has a very high number of students with learning and emotional disabilities. I loved working with children and also liked the administrative component of my job. I frequently recruited and screened qualified educators and also was in charge of making sure we stayed within our budget. Most of my day was processing payments to the tutors and keeping the parents and students happy with their services. The Tutoring program consisted of 300 students and hired, more or less 120 tutors.

The resident coordinator was my position and although initially excited for the role and benefits, pretty quickly it was a rough awakening. The position is often replaced due to the unrealistic expectations which are for 1 person borderline abusive. The management often condescending, disrespectful and simply not a healthy work environment. Every month inspections via personal walk through of all units - which are spread out and a few hundred in total. Each unit has a report which is entered manually stating the condition of the homes and if needed - scheduling work orders which are to be closed out and entered as well. I turned into a keyboard pretty much. On top of the massive paperwork, there is of course the daily resident coordinator duty of answering and phone calls and handling resident issues or appointments / requests. It was simply not doable the day has only so many hours. Hence the help of some colleges thank god to close out reports. 

A typical 9-5 day in which we assist users with problems in their computer. Basically if you are entry  level person and looking to get your foot in the door to gain expreirience then go for it. but just be quiet and dont expect to be helped and learn new stuff from anyone unless they like you. co-workers and managment work together to pick out favrorites in the job and give them better task and training and overtime. and if you are not in that group they will try to find ways to make you quit or get fired. the most hardest part of the job is pleasing the tribal members and management. the most enjoyble part is getting paid weekly, enjoying paid holidays and going home. fyi this is not a job where you can have close coworkers you can confide on with issues you are having at work and outside work they will stab in the back before you know it. no one is your friend there.

Enjoyed working with the patients and learning about their culture. The patients were wonderful and understanding the richness of their culture was most interesting. There was nothing that was too hard. Wish I had the opportunity to do more education as I found that was the missing link among the native population. I found there was not much being done by the healthcare providers that had a long working history with the natives. The hardest part of the job was seeing the wastefulness and no real passion for helping the population understand their disease processes or how to attain and maintain health and wellness.





and a major issue among these disease processes and how to embrace preventative medicine.
