Penn National Gaming No. 1 in Executive Satisfaction
WYOMISSING, Pa.-- Penn National Gaming Inc., which last month opened Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course in Austintown, was named the gaming industry’s Employer of First Choice in the 14th annual Bristol Associates/Spectrumetrix Executive Satisfaction Survey by Spectrum Gaming Group.
Receiving nearly 21% of first place votes, Penn National garnered high marks for its “stable and positive workplace environment and attractive corporate culture.” It placed ahead of 14 prominent gaming companies in this year’s survey, including destination and regional gaming operators, Macau operators and major American Indian gaming operators. The percentage of respondents that selected Penn National Gaming as their employer of first choice rose by 51.47% from the 2013 survey, when Penn National Gaming ranked second to Wynn Resorts.
“A core focus for Penn National Gaming, and a key to the company’s long-term success, has been attracting and retaining the industry’s best talent, maintaining high standards of performance and integrity, and leveraging our team’s commitment to excellence to provide the industry’s best gaming entertainment experience for our customers,” said Timothy J. Wilmott, chief executive officer of Penn National Gaming, in a prepared statement.
