FireKeepers Offers $1,000 Sign On Bonus and June 30th Job Fair
FireKeepers is upping the ante by offering a $1,000 sign-on bonus for all hourly positions ahead of its June 30th job fair.
FireKeepers Casino Hotel, like other area businesses, is offering added incentives to lure job applicants. Earlier this month the Top Rated Employer was offering $500 sign-on bonuses. The employment market continues to remain a job-seekers market.
A job fair for FireKeepers Casino Hotel Wednesday, June 30, in the FireKeepers Event Center.

Not only is there a $1,000 sign-on bonus, but FireKeepers says they have substantially increased wages as well as offering a benefits package. That benefits package includes medical, dental, vision, prescription coverage, life insurance, an on-site medical clinic, discounted Team Member cafeteria, tuition reimbursement, employee assistance programs, 401(k) with company match, paid time off, and holiday pay biannual discretionary bonuses.

Exactly why so many job openings continue to be unfilled remains debated. Some point to the added $300 in federal unemployment benefits, others point to low wages and difficult work environments. Regardless, the unemployment rate remains relatively low in Michigan at 5%. It is too soon to tell if the nearly 20,000 state residents lost due in part to the COVID-19 virus has played a part in dwindling job seekers.
