So what do our staff say about Crown:

"Crown and the F&B Traineeship has given me a platform on which to build a successful career in the Hospitality Industry. By far the best decision I have ever made". - Mark Bailey, F&B Attendant - Number 8 Restaurant (Crown Trainee of the Year 2006)

"Seeking a career change at 50 years of age, Crown accepted me for a Gaming Machines Attendant/Cashier's position. After several years of experience and development, I was promoted to an Area Manager and, after further study at Crown College, I now have the credentials to train new staff members. For me, it has been a fantastic career move." Gavan Jackson, (Gaming Machines Area Manager)

"With the support from Crown I was ready with visas and documentation much earlier then I had anticipated. After 7 months I was promoted from Sous Chef to Chef de cuisine in Conservatory Restaurant, one of Crown's largest and sophisticated restaurants. I am enjoying the lifestyle and total environment that Melbourne has." - Steffan Hoffer, Chef de Cuisine - Conservatory Restaurant

“Since starting at Crown as a Co-op student in 2006, I have completed many challenging tasks and met some very important people. My experiences at Crown have helped me mature and grow both in a personal and professional manner”. - Steven Bracchi, Front Office Supervisor – Crown Promenade Hotel. 

 “Working at Crown has provided me with some fantastic opportunities and experiences as well as some great friendships. The knowledge and experience I gained as a Co-operative Year Trainee provided me with the opportunity to advance my career through a promotion to Front Office Supervisor”. – Cecilie Algie, Front Office Supervisor – Crown Towers.

 “I joined Crown as a Hotel Bell Captain in 1997 for the opening of Crown Towers. Since then I have enjoyed many challenges and various roles within Crown. In my current role as Manager Groups & VIP Reception (Crown Towers & Crown Promenade Hotels), the experience I have gained has been invaluable. I am currently looking forward to the exciting development of Crown’s third hotel and growing the Groups team further.” – Brad Francis, Groups and VIP Reception Manager – Crown Promenade and Crown Towers Hotels. 

“I have been at Crown for 11 years. I have been involved in the opening of Crown Towers and Crown Promenade. It has been challenging yet rewarding, enabling me to share my skills and knowledge with new staff that come on board in the Housekeeping department. I was nominated for Trainer of the Year in 2007.”- Anna De Vincentis, Housekeeping Training Supervisor – Crown Towers and Crown Promenade.

"I started a Food & Beverage Traineeship at Crown with no hospitality experience. In less than 3 years Crown has provided me with the training and experience to lead other staff and run a bar on my own. Even now my training continues with the Management Development Program". - Rohan Windle, Bar Supervisor - Atrium Bar

"I have been working at Crown since 2002. I started off as a waitress/bar tender in Velvet Bar, and then moved to Atrium Bar to do permanent Higher Duties. While there I was promoted to Supervisor and then transferred to Double Up bar as an Assistant Manager. I am now enjoying being a Bar Manager at Teak Room/VIP slots". - Jacqui Donovan, Bar Manager - Teak Room/VIP Slots.
