Cianne McGuinness

Customer Service Manager- Mounties

Cianne begun her Mounties journey 18 years ago in 1998, commencing as a Gaming Attendant. It didn’t take Cianne too long before she was promoted to Gaming Team leader, then Beverage & Gaming Supervisor and now in her current role as a Customer Service Manager.

Why is Mounties Group a great employer?

Cianne believes Mounties embraces cultural diversity of both our staff and patrons. She feels Mounties is an employer who allows for the development of its staff and she has enjoyed seeing many staff progress through promotion or be cross trained into other departments.

In her own words ‘Mounties is a front runner in the industry in relation to technology and facilities and being in a management role, gives a feeling of pride and accomplishment when visiting other clubs for various meetings and courses, knowing that I am a "Mounties" team member.’

In my time at Mounties….

Cianne shares that in her time, she has seen many developments and changes throughout the club. From re-branding our name to new restaurants and total refit of our gaming and social areas of the club, let alone the new foyer areas, we are always moving forwards - there's always something happening.

Cianne highlights ‘I've met some amazing people during my time here and have been very lucky to have met some lifelong friends.

Having met these people and with our current team, coming to work, even when you know it's going to be a busy shift, is that much easier when you look at the positives of having wonderful people to work with.’

Shortly after this time, Michael was promoted as a relief Duty Manager and soon after in 2014 he was permanently placed as full time Duty Manager. Showing consistent passion, enthusiasm and dedication Michael was promoted to his current position of Senior Duty Manager in 2015.

Why is Mounties Group a great employer:

The ongoing support and training provided by Mounties Group and the team environment. With training and support, career progression opportunities are never too far away if you have the right mind set and dedication to take on that opportunity.

The great team environment that Mounties Group provides, allows employees not only to have fun while you learn and progress, but allows you to feel that you are giving back to the community.

Most memorable moment:

My most memorable moment is the annual contribution the Mekong Club gives to the local community of Cabramatta by supporting and being involved with the Moon Festival and the Fairfield City Council TET Festival.

Each year members of staff including myself host a stall at these events where we provide beverages, food and show bags to the local community including ice coffees, Vietnamese spring rolls and Mounties kid show bags filled with goodies! It is a great event that brings our local community together and I love being a part of that.
