Pros

There are some pros to working here, at least for a first job if you're ~ 16. You get free drinks, half priced food, and if you're a Party Hostess you have the potential of making tips (although this is extremely inconsistent and you're not technically supposed to be taking tips according to HQ).

Cons

The management is absolutely terrible. No one cares about the store, the employees, etc. The managers would all gossip about each other to the employees and it would get extremely awkward for everyone. Managers would hide in the office doing "paperwork" (which meant texting, eating, sleeping, etc.) daily. When asked to come out to fix a game or settle down an upset guest, they would get furious at you. Hours were extremely inconsistent and everything was done for the company to make money. On a busy Saturday, you can work a 9 hours shift and not be allowed to have a break. However, on a calm Monday you're forced to take one after only working for a couple hours to cut down on hours. Ridiculous. I was also forced to work through my unpaid break on many occasions. It's an awful place to work.

Pros

The only positive thing about this was that now that I work else where in a higher position, I learned a lot about what I will NOT do in other jobs.

Cons

This is the most unethical place to work for. They hired me as for as a certified safety officer, I ended up being moved to custodial duties like sweeping, bussing tables and being the person in the costume. Machines are constantly broken and if you saw the kitchen you would never eat there again. There was no training for this position and they love to under staff the place on weekends. Breaks at my branch did not exist, even when you were scheduled for 9 hours. You will also never get out on time - I never left my shift less than 40 mins beyond the assigned time. As safety officer, you have scan the show room for hazards and intervene drunks, since they serve alcohol. I put my life on the line getting swung at by high and drunk city people on a daily basis. Even with a college degree they wouldn't pay one cent over minimum wage. SICK
