for them. Look at the Cruise ships: staffed by foreigner's and European
shrewd Management- no labor laws, no job guarantee, low wages.

They don't want to pay US/American Wages or abide by their labor laws
: if they can get away with it-they would hire foreigners......Check out
the Companies website....Transfer opportunities to their Hotel's in other
countries worldwide only apply to: Management ONLY!!!.......I would be
a little careful about this companies policy towards employee's. So......
basically you are "always" on probation with this company and have
no rights-representation after (90) days-vs- the union.
You don't need a union representative to back you up if you are doing your job right. Obviously, if you are abiding by the company policy and not being sneaky about anything, you don't have to be intimidated by companies that are non-union. Las Vegas casinos is the only place I know that have these union companies to so call "represent" employees in being wrongfully terminated but really, you're paying these people so they have to be there when you complain endlessly. There's a lot of stipulations to their contract and if you're a lousy employee, they will go after you union or non union.

I think I am in the same situation as you but, I heard they are still waiting for drug test/background check result, and they are in the process of reducing the staffing level too.... so they might not hire some of us who are told we got a job....
I already signed the job offer on September 9. I was already fitted for a uniform last thursday. Did you sign the job offer yet?

This post has been great with lots of info with many of us having the same dreams..Everyone who has not been called check your email on Monday. There is no way they can call 10000 people in 1 day but they can sure do a mass emailing, It is starting to get cold at night here in Buffalo Ny and I long for the hot desert. Good luck everyone and God Bless

Pssst....it gets cold in the desert at night....heh.

Well, I might as well write if off then, since I applied for a slightly higher position than cook, and have half that experience. If I was offered part time, there's no way I could accept it....too many bills to pay in addition to monthly rent.

Wow....I really don't mean to sound negative....sorry if it bothers anyone...but this thread has been a real education for me regarding casinos. I've never worked for one before, let alone in Vegas.

Still hoping for the best here, but after what I've been reading.....damn.

Yes good luck to all!!! A cold night in the desert I will take over the 100s of inches of lake effect snow!LOL With all the good positive people on this thread regardless of jobs being secured at city center I think you will do well in the future! Optimism and a good attitude take you far in life! Noone really knows what will happen in the future. It is all market speculation! We can help control the market! The more we make wether it b at cc or somewhere else, the more we spend in this city! As for the negative nancys didnt ur mom teach u if u cant say something nice dont say anything at all!!! Good luck to all!!! Cant wait until tomorrow I hope everyone at least has an outcome to this long process!

I know, I hope we all find out SOMETHING tomorrow after all this build up. When I called cc in August they said JOs would START sept 21, and go through Oct. The news said they would do them all SEPT 21, though right? I didn't see the news broadcast, just going off what I've read in here. Well, I really hope they send out mass emails tomorrow, we all just need to know. I'm so nervous, excited, scared, hopefull,lol. I'm a ball of emotions with it only being 1 day away. I'll be ok if I don't get it though, I know less than 10% of the applicants will. The percentage has to be MUCH higher though for all of us who've made it through all the other steps so far though. I will be extatic if I do get it though. So exciting just to be a part of something like this, and from the very beginning.
