Not bad if you have other commitment
Table Games Dealer (Former Employee) - Pyrmont NSW - 14 May 2022
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by Indeedeasy job over all, one thing to keep in mind is do not take customer's anger personally. One good thing is you get to work with different people everyday, and some of them might been there for ages but you never seen them around.
Pros
free meals
Cons
shift work

great learning environment
Apprentice Chef Star Culinary Institute (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 20 August 2019
I completed my apprenticeship here through the Star Culinary Institute. As part of the apprenticeship we all had the opportunity to move to a different restaurant every 3 months. Tafe was organised scheduled and paid for. we also had masterclasses and in house competitions to encourage learning and development. The Star is dedicated to your growth and development as a chef and sets you up for a great career ahead.

Great company. You can gain experience in various environments and platforms without having to leave. Matrix structure does provide some good checks and balances.

Great People, inexperienced management
Project Manager (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 22 July 2019
People were very supportive and helpful. Management is naive and inexperienced, leading to over optimistic targets being set each year and not being met - leading to impacts to staff remuneration (e.e. large % bonuses, set as part of TRP but not being paid).
Pros
Staff Canteen
Cons
No investment in corporate staff training or development

Good if you just thinking of money
Section waitress (Former Employee) - Hospitality - 1 July 2019
The Star casino is everything about money, as a waitress you get the best pay wage and tips, lots of benefits such as free meals, free light rail and uniform washed and ready for you every day.
Beside that, nothing. No safety, no help, no empathy, no uman beings! High levels of staff are machines, they don't care about you, who you are and what you do for them, you are just one down there, easily replaceable.
Better find a place with less benefits but where you are considered a person.
Pros
Pay wage, benefits
Cons
Everything else

This Place Will Make You Feel Replaceable
Croupier (Current Employee) - Pyrmont NSW - 14 June 2019
middle management is good. they take care of their staff.
upper management makes questionable decisions and do not listen to what their staff is telling them to change. renovations happen every year. it feels like they are cutting costs at the expense of staff employment.
This place hires a lot of people. If you cannot COPE with their work requirements, they MAY NOT make room for it. best to find another job elsewhere that will be more flexible. for example, if you're full time who wants to switch part-time because of uni, you may not get it.
back in the good old days, you had a work-life balance. the whole roster for full-timers was consistent the whole month despite having rotating shifts.
Now, your days off changes every week. best to call in sick if you need days off since they probably cant swap your days off because the days you want to work instead are "overstaffed." getting long annual leave worth a month is difficult since there's a high chance you wont get it since theres 1-3 days unavailable that they cant accommodate for.
if you want to switch to part time, there's a LOOOOONNNNGGGG wait list which you more likely will not get into. want extra shifts as a part-timer or casual? dont expect any. they're "overstaffed" and may not provide anything outside your contracted shifts.
BTW theyre hiring more staff. mostly part-time. so, if you want extra shifts, its really hard to get them. there's a higher chance you cant pick up any more shifts outside your contracted hours due to the number of dealers there. there's too many dealers and not enough shifts -
Pros
free lunch and laundry
Cons
inflexible working hours, career progression is almost non-existent, hard to get the days you want off, many disgruntled customers and will make you feel irreplaceable

Great work place, oppotunity to connect and meet people from all over the globe
Gaming Supervisor/Croupier (Former Employee) - Casino NSW - 15 May 2019
a typical work day would include a supervisor briefing 30minuits prior to shift in order to get notified on the day to day activities that are happening. Following this includes the running of the pit on the gaming floor, allocation of staff and opening and closing tables appropriately.
The Star has given me the ability to work under pressure, with strict policy and uniform standards, the Star has enabled me ensure that I am a perfectionist and get the job done in a timely manner
The hardest part of the job was balancing work and life. As I was a shift worker, I would have to rotate between all hours of the day, moving from day shift, to night shift, and into morning shift.
The most enjoyable part of the job was connecting with people. As a supervisor you deal with the customers whenever something goes wrong. You must place the customers’ needs first and be sufficient in resolving problems. I enjoyed speaking to customers and making them leave with a smile on their face.
Pros
As a supervisor, for every hour and 20minuits on the gaming floor you had a 20minuit break paid.
Cons
constantly changing shift work

Surveillance at Star Sydney? Find another job.
Surveillance Supervisor (Former Employee) - Sydney NSW - 11 November 2018
Surveillance positions at The Star Sydney are overworked and underpaid. Control Room conditions are the worst within the state regarding pay and workload. Management is poor, the Director hasn't got a clue. Please take this advice from someone who gave almost 5 years to that Department and look elsewhere for Control Room positions.
Cons
Pay, Management, Workload...

Underpaid, understaffed, overworked and overscrutinized.
Surveillance Operator (Former Employee) - Pyrmont NSW - 1 October 2018
This place destroys morale, management bullies staff. The pay is underwhelming when compared to other control rooms, which all only have a fraction of the work load. Switching shifts between days and nights every two weeks, except when youre on "swing shift" which is every second month or so, where you switch multiple times per week, its extremely unhealthy. The work environment is very toxic, staff members step on each other to get ahead. The job also requires you to give two months written notice if you want to leave, and if you fail to do so they strip you of all leave entitlements and payouts. Multiple staff members have also been the subject of unfair dismissal, so there isnt even any job security. Please do yourself a favor and look elsewhere for work, I'm writing this becauss I dont want anyone else to go through what my workmates and I went through. Literally any other control room job is better, keep looking, stick with regular security until you find something else.
Pros
Some staff are ok
Cons
Literally everything else
