Pros

Everyday, the managers try to keep everyone having fun and they don't mind couples working there.

Cons

Standards can sometimes slide around and not be taking seriously, which can be frustrating if you have been with the location building since it has opened.

Pros

Management was the best I've worked with in the industry. Strong focus on professionalism and keeping the center clean. Generous employee discount.

Cons

Bartenders don't get tipped out and the service well is VERY busy. Uniforms are ugly and dated. Late nights and long shifts. There were numerous times HR messed up on service charges so had to jump through hoops to get paid correctly. Food is mediocre but I heard that there will be a new menu soon. No happy hour. Company is all about taking care of families but they don't care about their employees family life; no one should have to work on Christmas!

Can't believe we don't have a Happy Hour!!
