Valley Forge Casino Resort Hires 900, Plans to Hire More

According to The Times Herald, the newly opened Valley Forge Casino Resort in Upper Merion has already hired 900 employees (mostly full-time), many of them area residents. According to VFCR president Sal Scheri, more hiring is on the way.

"Now that we’re in full operation we’re going to be constantly hiring because there’s always going to be people moving out of the area," Scheri told the Herald. "We’re always looking to bring great people in. We have 15,000 people in our database and we always want to keep building that database so that when we do have a position to fill we always have great people to choose from. We’re so excited that we created even more permanent jobs here in the community than we ever expected."

When asked about salaries, VFCR spokesman David La Torre told the Herald that pay is “competitive within the industry, and that’s all we’ll ever say on it. People see from the property what its potential is and that their income possibilities are greater.”

Though up to 600 of the 900 jobs at the casino are tip-based, according to La Torre.
