Pros

Staff was fun to work with. I enjoyed working with young adults, showing them the transition between child hood and the realities of adulthood. Place always has lots to do.

Cons

Upper Management needs to take a closer look at what makes these places run efficiently. Lots of long time employees left because of poor strategic effectiveness when these places get busy.

Pros

Met a few good friends, other than that I don’t have much positive to say about it. Enter at your own risk

Cons

Too many for me to take the time to type out right now, so I’d advise to just stay away

Pros

- It isn't boring or like regular retail or fast food. I worked as a cashier/welcomer, and you see kids do the funniest and cutest things - The food is actually pretty good. You get a free personal pizza each shift if you're a team 2 member (which is just basically a level up from your basic newcomer), but you get 50% off the entire menu. (Or you can just have leftovers when the all you can eat buffet closes) - As a high school student, they knew i was busy and gave me EXTREMELY flexible hours. - Weekdays are usually empty - Being in the Chuck E costume was probably the best part. It was fun and the kids are absolutely adorable. Although it is a bit of a snug fit, and if you have large hair thats hard to tie up or braids - stay away from it

Cons

- It is NOISY and flashy, I think it was a great TEMPORARY job - but not for long term. I was there for 2 years, and i dont think i would go back as a summer job. - Weekdays are usually empty, especially after the start-of-summer rush. (it can be good or bad. Sometimes it's very boring so you stay there and do nothing but stand there, or they'd send people home early)
