wyomissing, pa.

Penn National Gaming Inc. was named by Spectrum Gaming Group as the gaming industry’s Employer of First Choice in the 14th-annual Bristol Associates/Spectrumetrix Executive Satisfaction Survey.

For this survey, Bristol and Spectrum questioned gaming executives from around the country “about their careers, including long- and short-term goals, satisfaction in their current position, and general outlook on the field to better understand the casino gaming industry and the executives who lead it,” according to a press release issued by Penn National.

Penn National, which operates Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, received nearly 21 percent of the first place votes and placed ahead of 14 lead gaming companies in the survey.

The company received high marks for its “stable and positive workplace environment and attractive corporate culture,” according to the release.

Penn National saw a 51.47 percent increase from respondents that selected the company as their employer of first choice compared to the 2013 survey. In last year’s survey, Penn National ranked second to Wynn Resorts.

The Bristol Associates/Spectrumetrix Executive Satisfaction Survey included input from 636 participants that represent a sample of industry executives from across North America based on a number of criteria, including diverse geographies, executive responsibilities and years of experience.
