You will be selling your soul if you take a job here... Don't get sucked in. You will regret it.

Pros

The only pro to this awful place is that your birthday is considered a holiday if you are a full time employee. I can't think of anything else.

Cons

Highly political and advancement is not based on merit. If you are one that can play the game you have a chance to grow your career. Everyone is out for themselves. Zero concern for work-life balance.....zero. They will work you to exhaustion without concern. They are all talk- they could care less about the well being of their employees. Extremely unorganized- concept will crumble. It is only a matter of time because they can't get new openings organized. It is a disaster!

Pros

When I first started at Main Event it was a great place to work. The owners were great guys with great personalities and knew how to run the business. Once the company was sold it went downhill. They started bringing in their own friends and it took the family feel out of the business and made it feel more corporate. If you didn't have the same views as senior staff then you were not a "team player" and was laid off.

Cons

Fun place to work if you are in with senior staff.
