Business Outlook

Pros

It’s never a job you should be stressed at, and if you are, you’re doing something wrong. Managers are down to earth most times, and the perks you get are nice for younger audiences

Cons

Your hours will fluctuate depending on the season, and slow season gets you pretty poor hours. Pay increases are extremely unlikely due to new Dave and Busters corporate policies
