The company prides itself on fostering an inclusive and dynamic workplace where diversity, sustainability, and community engagement are core values. PENN Entertainment invests in its people by providing opportunities for career growth, comprehensive wellness programs, and a total rewards package designed to support team members' financial, physical, and mental well-being. Initial placement and salary are determined based on individual skills, knowledge, and previous experience, with additional benefits such as day-one medical coverage, 401(k) matching, paid time off, and annual performance bonuses enhancing the overall compensation.

The role being offered is that of a Casino Beverage Server, a position that plays a vital part in ensuring guests have a memorable and enjoyable experience while visiting PENN Entertainment’s properties. The successful candidate will be responsible for providing fast, friendly, and professional beverage service in a high-energy, fast-paced casino environment. Serving as an ambassador of goodwill, the beverage server promotes casino events, engages with guests using personalized service and guest recognition, and helps maintain a welcoming atmosphere. Responsibilities include taking drink orders, communicating effectively with bartenders, assisting in drink preparation, and ensuring guests receive their beverages efficiently, with a target round time of 20 minutes or less. The role demands excellent customer service skills, attention to detail in handling money and tray service, as well as monitoring guest alcohol consumption according to company guidelines to promote responsible service.

Physical requirements are integral to this role, as it requires the mobility to carry full cocktail trays weighing up to 20 pounds for extended periods and the ability to work in environments with second-hand smoke, bright lights, noise, and crowded conditions. The position also requires availability to work flexible and sometimes demanding schedules including nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime as needed. Completion of the ServSafe Alcohol training certification is mandatory, reflecting the company’s strong emphasis on compliance and safety. Working closely with other team members such as bartenders, barbacks, beverage supervisors, and slot supervisors fosters a collaborative environment focused on delivering seamless guest experiences.

Overall, this position offers individuals an exceptional opportunity to grow their careers in a fast-paced, fun-filled entertainment setting while enjoying the stability and benefits of a leading company. Candidates who thrive in customer-oriented roles, enjoy working in lively environments, and are committed to professional appearance and service standards will find this role rewarding. PENN Entertainment not only values the enthusiasm and dedication of its beverage servers but also supports their continued development through various career advancement and wellness programs.
