SugarHouse Casino named one of Philadelphia's 'Top Workplaces'19 March 2012PHILADELPHIA -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- SugarHouse Casino employees have once again voted that their jobs are among the best in Philadelphia.

The program recognizes the area’s top employers based on nominations and feedback from their employees. “I wish there was a contest where we could vote our employees the ‘Top Team in Philadelphia’ — they would win every day.” SugarHouse is ranked as a top-20 employer in the “large company” category, defined as Philadelphia businesses with 500 or more employees. Employees at each company were surveyed, and the results were analyzed by a third-party research firm, WorkplaceDynamics, to determine the rankings.
