Kickstart your career
with PENN
Be a part of an exciting industry and company that cares about your career growth and provides the support you need to expand your possibilities. Apply for the Leadership Excellence at Penn (LEAP) program where you can build your career with us — and find your fun.
Here’s what recent LEAP grads had to say about the program:
"LEAP gave me the opportunity to walk a mile in each department. I was able to see how their work contributes to the overall success of the property. I had great mentors along my journey and took unique pieces of advice from each of them! The program helped mold me into the leader I am today. It came full circle last summer when I was able to mentor a new LEAP!"
Essence Wallace , Director of Marketing - Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa, 2017 LEAP Class
"One of the many things that I love about PENN Entertainment is the opportunity for major growth and development. I have gained incredible experience, knowledge, and insight from property and corporate leaders. I am thankful and look forward to my future with PENN Entertainment."
Hayley Zenon , Human Resources - L'Auberge Lake Charles, 2022 LEAP Class
"The LEAP Program is the best introduction into the entertainment and gaming industry. Gaining hands-on experience in operations allowed me to explore career options. The most meaningful part for me was interacting with team members on all levels, gaining the different perspectives of front-line through top leaders. I learned valuable lessons that will be used as I progress in my career with PENN."
Tyler Yost , Senior Financial Analyst - Hollywood Casino Columbus, 2021 LEAP Class
