Such a fun environment

Cashier & prize attendant

Business Outlook

Pros

Faced paced and very interactive. Definitely a fun job! It's a great blend of restaurant, arcade, and merchandise experience. Absolutely loved working there and got so much out of it.

Cons

On extremely busy nights we would be there until 2am closing. Don't give raises very often. Under paid.

Fun, but low pay.

Birthday party host

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers, fun environment. You had a decent break and you could eat the cake birthday parties gave to you. The job was fairly easy. The shifts usually went by fairly quickly as well.

Cons

Low wages, vacation time for more than 2 weeks resulted in getting kicked out of the system automatically. The place wasn't the most sanitary and some party moms/dads would get upset rather quickly and you would have to deal with that. Party Moms mostly want you to take control of everything and one mistake could be disastrous to them.
