Pros

Very positive working environment - everyone was friendly and pleasant to work around. Fun working environment too, given the company is within the entertainment business. Convenient for those needing to work flexible hours while still in school.

Cons

Often got angry at/discouraged employees from taking time off then wondered why the turnover rate was so high. During peak times, some managers would get stressed and take it out on the employees leaving employees to feel like management was against them.

Pros

Fun. Friendly. Decent benefits and discounts. If you are a hard worker you will have no issues with the management. 50% off on food. Free access to the center for employees on their days off. 50% off birthday party packages for employees. Double pay for holidays you work including your birthday!! That’s awesome. I could go on a while about the pros.

Cons

Non smoking facilities so it’s very difficult to take smoke breaks. Most of the younger staff is tough to work with. Shifts you work can be all over the place if you have a lot of open availability. Pay could be better. You can get free access to the arcade and bowling for being an employee but you can’t redeem your tickets for prizes. Hard to find staff to cover shifts if needed. Employees can’t do birthday parties on Saturdays. Downfall of working on the holidays is missing family time especially when you have children.
