Pros

Flexible hours, growing rapidly, FUN environment, great staff members (coworkers and management), traveling to new locations, personal growth, and all the awesome discounts and benefits! Main Event has been a great job and now a career for me. The management staff has always had my best interest in mind and I couldn't be more grateful.

Cons

Learning how to transition into a nationwide company rather than just in the state of Texas has been a little rocky but nothing we can't fix.

Pros

- flexible hours -50% off of bowling and pool is always nice - most employees are nice to work with. - they allow you to have a drink(non-alcoholic) while working, which is free (most discourage)

Cons

- Inexperienced management, who think they can speak to employees like they are trash. - Hiring high school students is a negative sometimes because they have a poor work ethic (which results in me going home in intense pain from doing the job of two people) - No room for advancement (promotion) it takes more than 3 years to get a promotion. - The company is in the process of restructuring meaning my job is going to get a name change, include server duties and then I will receive a pay cut where I will make less than min wage. - The pay is basic (7.25 as a regular, and I believe 2.15 if you're a server). It's proven that a person cannot survive off of 7.25 an hour, you are a multi-million dollar company who CAN afford to pay their employees more and instead you are deciding to cut pay. - The management won't let us do simple changes to make the work flow faster; example: numbering the tables at the bowling lanes so guests know which they are assigned. Many guests are very verbal when you tell them they need to switch tables. - The company needs to hiring a sweeping crew for the parking lot. I was almost hit several times. It was not one of our guests but ones from the bar next door that almost hit me. - There is an issue with favoritism/fraternization, regular employees should not be buddies with management staff let alone have them on their Facebook pages.
