Stressful and Loud, Very Little Respect
Pros
- Laid-back attitude in most situations - Good experience with dealing with customers - Free activities and arcade play, as well as half off food and non-alcoholic drinks - Managers give free meals relatively often, especially for extra work - Simple and comfortable uniform (no polo shirts or khakis) - Paid breaks when breaks are given - Flexible hours, hours always available for weekends
Cons
- Very high turnover rate - Inconsistent pay between different employees - Sometimes unreliable in giving employees deserved money, fixing payroll mistakes, or giving agreed-upon raises - Inconsistent break times; you won't always get a break even when required by law - Inconsistent hours - even though I requested roughly 35-40, I'd get anywhere between 20 and 40 hours, some weeks only working 3 days. Some shifts can be 10 hours long and others 5 hours with no real concern for consistency or personal preference - Constantly loud everywhere other than the sales office, arcade machine sounds are mentally grating after a while - Business includes a bar, so you have to deal with inebriated adults - Managers aren't punished for or prevented from inappropriate actions, like showing favoritism or considering attractiveness as a major means of deciding new hires' positions
