Pros
For the most part you can just come in, do your job, and go home. Lots of exposure to Linux systems as well as Windows, learn how databases and servers work to deliver gambling games to the public. Potential to get hired directly with state lottery. If you like long shifts in order to get longer weekends (11 hour shifts, 3+ days off a week) then this is a good schedule.
Cons
CEO makes 12 million a year, thats 3x more than any other CEO in this industry, yet IGT can't even afford to buy comfortable chairs for our 11 hour shifts. Chairs are broken and in some cases able to cause injury. Sometimes food is brought in (rarely) but compare that to Facebook or Google (who gives out 3 meals a day). Management will lie to you (not keeping promises made) and emails are easily ignored/unaddressed. They are generally subpar when it comes to feedback and overall quality. Every IGT cuts costs and of course non-management are the first ones to suffer. No stock options, no holiday parties, low matching contribution to 401k, and definitely no holiday bonuses. You get vacation time, but it ends up being negated because you have to cover for other employees when they go on vacation. Mandatory OT is assigned if nobody offers to cover.
