Pros

The current location is great for business

Cons

The managers do not seem to care about the employees There are not enough people being hired, even though there are a lot of interviews Some people are not being trained properly Trying to call off for a shift is a nightmare because on weekends, nobody else can work There have been times where managers and other employees are more interested in a football game, than helping the only 2 people that are running the whole downstairs area

Main Event Response

We appreciate your time in writing a review. Honest feedback is the only way we can improve and grow! We are disappointed to hear about your experience and want to reiterate there is an employee hotline to call if you're not comfortable bringing issues up to your immediate supervisor.

Pros

The managers are usually all fantastic I've worked at several different locations from Katy to Humble! The tips behind bar were FANTASTIC and as long as you do your job it's a great place to work!

Cons

It's mostly high school kids that work there so there is a lot of high school drama but if your older you can definitely use that to mentor some of the these young minds!

Main Event Response

Thank you so much for your review! That's interesting about some of the managers 'doing' things when so often you hear about managers not doing anything! Thank you for your thoughts!
