Team Service is Trash and makes me sad

Pros

Working Rent The Events are fun, some workers are okay.

Cons

If you are team service you are treated with 0 respect. Everything that is wrong with Main Event is Team Services fault according to everyone who works there. Team service has the most to do and has the worst job. Bottom of the barrel is how I describe it. You get paid minimum wage and there is no chance for a raise, it's very belittling to get paid so little and do so much.

Great, but needs some improvement

Pros

Flexible hours, even when full-time, good pay with benefits, fun coworkers. Great learning opportunity, especially my position. I'm learning lots of general skills, as well as electronics and mechanics.

Cons

Management is hit or miss, some are great, some are in it for the paycheck. If you want to work here, get to know the employees and ask what the management is like. The hours are weird, some times I see people close at 2 am and then open at 9, but very rarely.

Thank you for your feedback! We are in the process currently of refocusing a lot of effort to put the power into the hands of the field! Meaning, taking focus away on meeting budgets and just concentrating on the employees and guests and empowering the employees to do what it takes to please the guests!

Working here should be considered cruel and unusual punishment

Pros

The only reason to work here is for the amazing people you meet and work with. Although I started out with above minimum wage, the arbitrary raise "system" (see bias) makes that point mute.

Cons

When I quit only 2/6 managers had known who I was. They if the don't like you, they will make sure you know via completely ignoring you and punishing you for irrelevant things. Raises are handed out arbitrarily, so they only go to people they like, not work hard. Forced me to come in with the stomach flu and wouldn't let me leave (that has to be against some sort of health standard). They schedule people to leave at 2 am and show back up at 7 am (and there usually forced to stay until 4 am). Working here should be considered cruel and unusual punishment. They only let you get a 50% discount on very certain items, and you don't get a free meal unless they like you, or working there has caused you to break down and cry.
