Business of Gambling - Information Technology Professional SKYCITY Employee Review

1) Bullying, cronyism, gaslighting, blame culture, scapegoating and nepotism were prevalent especially in the Information Technology (IT) department. There were plenty of highly paid independent IT contractors who ruined the work environment and cared little about making any meaningful improvements. 2) I meet some incompetent and toxic people in full-time permanent managerial roles in IT and People & Culture department. Some of supervisors and managers in low skilled jobs openly made racist comments and jokes. 3) It was an absolute nightmare experience working in their IT department. I encountered some unethical practices such as falsifying reports which made me uncomfortable working there. 4) The customers visiting the casino might notice glitz and glamour of the place but what these customers cannot see but are visible only to employees are the ugly run-down back offices with foul smells and dirty toilets which includes their corporate office in the Federal Street. 5) A factory-like work environment wherein employees are poorly paid. The unions frequently have strikes demanding better wages and a work environment. 6) Due to the fact this company runs 24/7 365 days a year, the employees are expected to work in different shifts throughout the year that will have a heavy toll on employees' health and their families in the long run. 7) Most of the revenue and profit generated by SkyCity is from its casino operations. The people mostly from low socio-economic background have been financially and emotionally ruined due to gambling addiction. These poor souls visit the casino even in the middle of the night to feed their addiction by playing a variety of games and losing their money and future. Some people might not prefer to work in this company due to religious or ethical reasons.
