Pros: relatively more freedom and independence, and yes they offer free lunches.
Cons: understaffed these days, much more stressful
I worked at this casino from the day it opened until being laid off 14 years later. As bus driver then a Slot Technician. I am very familiar with the majority of jobs offered. In the early days it was a dream job! The company took great care in ensuring happiness of employees. Over time due to the changes in management, changes in the economy and expansions – more... the mood is entirely different in the current casino atmosphere. The company has taken back many benefits, many employees are now distrustful of management and the human resources dept in my opinion has too great power in policing the strict policies.. You may still find a lucky few employees who love their job but for the most part these days it's a job. Period. – less
Cons: pocono downs was not as good at all...yucky food, bad incentives, bad insurance
I have worked at both Mohegan Sun CT as well as Mohegan Sun Pocono Downs. Hands down CT treats their employees so much better then PA. The food is great for employees (and free), they give away a corvette every year at employee appreication day as well as they have their own gym for employees. The pay is competitive for the area.
Cons: smell like cigarettes after work, management, angry unreasonable customers.
My job seems like a dead end job, its a place where retired people go after they find out how boring retirement was. I'm not saying that the people I work with are bad, they are great people, happy full of life, wise. However it does get very boring at times and thats the toughest part, trying to find something to do to pass the time when I'm working – more... alone. The management is questionable, not the managers that work with us but the people they take orders from. I don't understand some of the stuff they do, so we have a saying that if it makes sense they won't do it. The most enjoyable part of this job is the people I work with, lots of different and friendly people. I get along with everyone. – less

Mohegan Sun is a great place to work, there are a lot of different jobs to do there depending on what you want to do. It's a fun and exciting place to work. Everyone gets along and tries to help each other out.
The only reason i write barback instead of bartender is because my official position was barback. I was a second bartender. It was a great place, but just for short term work.
In better than 10 years with Mohegan Sun, the company as a whole from CFO to CEO to VP's & Directors operate on the company Core Values and at the top is Employees are the Core of our Success. The benefits (401K, Employee Cafeteria, Employee parking garage....) are comparable to most companies I have looked into moving forward in my professional career.
Cons: favoritism, too many non english speaking employees, lack of compassion
If you like to work with people and you have a service industry mentality this is a great job. Your position and who you know seem to be the main way to have advancement. If you want a promotion make sure you are likeable. They are wonderful to deal with on many issues and I think what I will carry away with me are some of the wonderful customers I – more... had met and some of the employees which I will always remain close too. – less

Pros: supportive work environment
Cons: lack of job security
I worked at Mohegan Sun and I loved it. I had worked for Foxwoods for almost 9 years and there was no comparison Mohegan was definetly the better place. Easier environment and very helpful if you need anything they are able to work things out for you. The down size is I was layed off in September so job security is definetly and isssue
