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.

Pros

Worked in Games Department customers always happy and ready to have fun and enjoy themselves. Great customer interactions involved in my job.

Cons

Bad Management, Treated Horribly by Management, Repeatedly lied/misled about the job and it's responsibilities, Favoritism was Rampant, Encouraged and Fostered competitive nature among employees for hours under the guise of a "We're all Family" front given to the staff.
