Pros

Money will become why you stay but it won’t be worth it

Cons

If I had a hell on earth it would be here, hands down the worst place in all aspects imaginable other than income of anywhere I have worked in sixteen years of doing this. I wouldn’t recommend this job to anyone, the place while it is owned by Pinnacle entertainment will only continue to slowly fail under management who are consistently some of the most toxic and under qualified in the entire history of hospitality. This is a job if you want to go nowhere and waste your time in life which none of us get back.
