“Station Casinos is a family run business and our Team Members are like family to us, and we are always looking for ways to make our company an enjoyable and rewarding place to work and looking for ways to attract the best candidates to our properties. We are excited to offer our Team Members great healthcare and retirement options so that they and their families are taken care of. Our Family Focused initiative will truly benefit our Team Members and further enhance our position as the best place to work in Las Vegas,” Bob Finch, executive vice president and chief operating officer of the company, said.

Since January 2020, Station Casinos has been pleased to offer a free healthcare plan to its Team Members that make less than $41,600 in salary or $20.00 per hour annually. This benefit extends to the spouses and families of eligible Team Members.

Station Casinos’ enriched benefits package now offers a unique and expanded 401k programme. Team Members who have been employed for one year or longer benefit from a 401(k) programme that is funded by Station Casinos, to which Station Casinos contributes a select amount per hour for every hour worked.
