Pros
Great place to grow and learn an incredible industry with so many moving parts. A great company where I met some great friends and colleagues. I was very impressed by Harrah's when I first joined them. I continued to be impressed by the growth and encouragement that I received throughout my career. I was able to apply all of my classes and business classes to the strategies and business practices. It was very rewarding to a part of Harrah's during their exciting growth period of acquiring Horseshoe and Caesar's. I appreciated being a part of a market where all three brands were marketing and represented. I wouldn't exchange all of my hard work, blood, sweat and tears for anything. All of my honors and recognition were hard earned, and I am a better marketer, manager and employee for it!
Cons
Misconception of other industries when applying for marketing positions outside of gaming. It is such a fun industry and there is such a strong sense of dedication to success. I made many sacrifices in my personal time that looking back, I should have excercised more balance. In a 24/7 business, there is always enough work to go around and it can be overwhelming.
