Fun family friendly place. Great atmosphere great people to work with. Love dancing throughout the day

Weekends can be crazy. During the school year the week is very slow, we should lower our hours during that time. Long hours and open everyday

Main Event is a rapidly growing concept, with centers opening up all over the south! One of our core values is to Have Fun!

Cons

The only downside to this company is that we are open 365 days a year and often with extended hours during the holidays.

Pros

If you have a good team the job can be very smooth and a great atmosphere.You meet great people, you have a pretty decent time at work.

Cons

Corporate Office is not in line with the overall vision. They push you to create wonderful atmospheres and memorable experiences, but give you very little resources to do so. New managers have it rougher as it is harder to find information for actually running your area, just a crappy training program that they put you thru that teaches you the basics of each area. There is very little upward mobility which is surprising given how fast the company is growing. They would rather hire someone whose run an Applebees than to give people whom have paid their dues a shot.
