I would tell anyone that wants to work at Downstream to take the job and continue your search. The work experience is necessary. However you will find, the leadership is extremely toxic. When the top management leadership is voted out of office, I believe Downstream may once again be a fantastic place to work and have a career.

The biggest mistake I made while working at Downstream was not accepting people of lesser skill, lesser pay, someone not of management could have a "Special" relationship with the chairman. Unfortunately, a petite pretty blonde female wielded the powers of abuse easily due to her "Special" relationship with the chairman. It happens, It is unfair, be aware of these women. Jordan Peterson's answer to "Can men and women work together in the workplace?" is "I don't know". The answer is not clearly yes, it is not clearly no, it is clearly, I don't know.

Walking the halls of downstream when the chairman was on the property. He could and would fire staff on a moments notice. He regularly abused his position and runs the property as a corrupt dictator. Because it is tribal land and he is the chief, he can only be held accountable by the federal government, meaning precisely; his corruption can only be investigated by Washington DC.

Great community of people in my hometown and I loved doing my job as digital signage professional.

The property is amazing. The leadership is a bit difficult. Specifically, the Chairman of the Quapaw tribe has hired and fired 9 marketing directors in 10 years thus leaving in place a singular administrative assistant to carry out admin tasks for marketing. I discourage sexism in the workplace or promoting, however, it does exist and it is difficult to prove in cases for men. The marketing admin assistant is an attractive woman that is loyal to the chairman. The chairman is above the general manager in all things including directing a $10 per hour admin assistant. Over the years, of course, she has gained leverage in knowledge and uses it as a weapon along with her "special" relationship with the chairman. This does on reading as if I had an interpersonal relationship issue with her but the facts are simple, nine directors plus marketing staff turn over in ten years and she is the only one to survive all of them making less than $35,000 a year. This is only one example of the typical leadership examples from the chairman. It is possible the chairman will be voted out in July 2018. If this happens I would strongly recommend working for Downstream Casino Resort. Please keep in mind, the chairman controls every department and every employee is at his discretion to fire at will with absolutely zero human resource department intervention, direct supervisor intervention and or the director's knowledge and intervention. I have personally witnessed him fire a General Manager all the way down to an hourly wage employee. This is no small property, 1100 employees. The demand and necessity of a properly functioning management team is essential. General Manager on down walk in absolute abject fear when the chairman walks the halls or the casino floor. I would greatly return to the property and work for them again but not until a change in leadership occurs.
