Pros

The surroundings are enjoyable with the constant music and games. Also the job itself is fun and even better if you get along with workers

Cons

Cramped environment causes a lot of stress for workers and guest especially. There are little to no benefits, while as a worker; you will find a lot of guest blame you for the prices(that's how it is for a lot of party places.)

Pros

There is nothing good to say.

Cons

Worst job I've ever had. Constant lies. Constantly told to lie to staff to get the job done. Constantly lied to about every single thing, including the fact that this company is in serious turmoil and they are desperately trying to keep it a secret. This location had over 150 employees when it opened and 8 managers when it opened on April 17th. It currently has less than 50 employees and 3 managers left 2 months later. That should tell you all you need to know. They do not give breaks on time or at all. DO NOT work here! It will only lead to disappointment. They have no sales and will make you do jobs that are outside of your work discription and will not pay you for it. They had us managers tell people they would get referral bonuses for people getting hired and never paid them. This is a company that will get what they want at all costs and screw you over to get it. I am ashamed that I fell for thier lies and got people hired under false pretenses. I cannot stress enough that you should avoid this place at all costs. The company will not be around in 3 years anyway. Look it up for yourself. The parent company is Ardent, if you do your research you will find out for yourself. Stay away!

We appreciate your thoughts and opinions regarding your experience here at Main Event. It is our hope that we have strong managers who can turn around such a negative experience. We would hope that anyone would go to HR with concerns and questions should they not be getting what they need from their immediate supervisors.

Pros

coworkers are fun and helpful there's never a dull moment and if you need a hand there's almost always one to help

Cons

stressful, lack of management concern, customers complain to see a manager that can never be found and at the end of the day things out of your control fall on your shoulders
