Shiela Branson Resume Details and Specifics

Johnny Nolon’s Cashier’s Cage:

Opening Cashier must:

Arrive first at casino

Clock in

Retrieve restricted access keys with security

Accompany manager to cage

Verify all monies/tokens/chips

Verify opening count with closing count from the night before

File paperwork

Control/distribute restricted keys for appropriate personnel

Open/verify secondary cashier windows as staff arrives for their shifts

Verify paperwork for departments (i.e. restaurant, bars, etc.)

Perform daily tasks such as customer service, check/credit card monies, run paperwork on all floor transactions

Use cage equipment such as copier, calculators, credit card machines, coin/token sorters, computers for paperwork, bill verifying machines, etc.

Take and distribute messages as necessary for management

Be accountable for all transactions for the duration of your shift

Make sure the accounts all balance in all windows at the end of your shift and provide documentation

File all paperwork appropriately

Assist oncoming shift if necessary



Closing Cashier must:

Do all of the above except close the casino instead of opening it



Mid-shift Cashier must:

Verify monies/tokens/chips in their windows

Do most of the above, but less of it, and without the responsibility of opening/closing the casino

 I won’t disclose the numbers involved, but there are a lot of digits involved, everything is VERY intensely regulated in this industry, obtaining a gaming license involves a ream of paperwork, prints, background check, the whole nine yards, and every working moment you’re under probably nine or ten cameras at all times.

 I made about thirty thousand a year at this job, working four ten-hour shifts per week and enjoying almost every moment.  For most of that time my home was three hours and fifteen minutes away, a very long commute.  I started as a mid-shift cashier, went to closing, then opening.  The opening cashier also has responsibilities involving fund transfers, deposits, etc.  Both are responsible for daily reconciliation of all transactions for their shifts and must balance.

CONFIDENTIALITY IS MANDATORY AT ALL TIMES.

While doing one-on-one with my little autistic guy, it was absolutely mandatory that I be with him (or watching him VERY closely from an immediately accessible place) at ALL times.  We were encouraging interactions with others, which got a little dicey now and then.
