Though the promenade is quiet this blustery October Saturday, parade organisers motion for a handful of vehicles to fall in line. For 30 years, casinos created a veneer of glitz and glamour along its seaside boardwalk. This town of about 40,000 has a long history of keeping up appearances. “Like it’s sunny and it’s beautiful and you want to be here.” Guardian poses with the group for pictures in front of a float bearing Italian and American flags. The fast-talking 61-year-old shakes hands with one wearing a tiara and sash reading “Miss Columbus”, from a beauty pageant to celebrate its namesake’s arrival in North America. Drops of water patter against the town’s wooden boardwalk as Mayor Don Guardian approaches four young women shivering in gowns. In closing I knew that my job would probably lead to being laid off but I was very loyal to my work so I stayed until they said the Casino is closed don't come back.It’s raining on Atlantic City’s parade. It was tough but once again because the employees were good at there job and looked past the low pay we still did our job to the best of our ability. On a busy Saturday Night when there should have been at least 4-5 persons working, there times when there were just myself and another employee. Good employees left the Revel to go elsewhere. The Hardest part of the job was towards the end when the Casino was doing poor in keeping good employees by not paying them the money that was deserved. My direct Manager was a female and was understanding and fair to all the employees. I was happy with the Management that I had to work with. The time spent with the employees I worked with made up for the low pay rate. My self included, the pay was very poor for the workload. The sad part was that Revel did not compensate the employees for the jobs they were conducting. I could not wait to go to work to talk to and work with these employees.

The Employees that I was paired with to assist in the duties of a Monitor Room Officer was like family.
