For the fourth consecutive year, Seminole Hard Rock was named Employer of Choice among 34 casino companies or standalone casinos in the 18th annual Casino Gaming Executive Satisfaction Survey, produced by Bristol Associates Inc. and Spectrum Gaming Group. The online survey, conducted among 1,363 unique participants from August through October 2018 and released this year, indicated 24.83 percent of all respondents ranked Seminole Hard Rock as one of their top three employers of interest—up 5 percent over 2017.

Jim Allen, chief executive officer at Seminole Gaming and chairman at Hard Rock International, said, “It means a lot to be recognized by so many gaming industry executives as their Employer of Choice. We are extremely pleased to receive this recognition for Seminole Hard Rock.”

Michael Pollock, managing director at Spectrum Gaming Group, added. “To become a leader among such leaders requires an added focus on retaining and motivating talent. By definition, to become such a leader, you have to listen to your people, and respond to their needs and aspirations.”

Hard Rock International, acquired by the Seminole Tribe in 2007 and headquartered in Hollywood, Florida along with Seminole Gaming, also recently was named to Forbes Magazine’s rankings of America’s Best Employers and America’s Best Employers for Women.

The annual survey represents a sampling of casino and gaming executives from across North America, with diverse geography, executive responsibilities, years of experience and other meaningful criteria. The survey is designed to ensure that the respondents have worked in the casino and gaming industry and that no one is surveyed more than once.
