A headache.

Cashier & prize attendant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The environment can be fun at times and the kids can really make your day. Also, the workers help you get through the day and you do get free pizza at times which is always a plus.

Cons

Chuck E. Cheese is the type of place you won't survive if you don't like kids. At times the kids could be rude (to say the least) and sometimes the parents can be worst. It is a hectic job that is not worth what you get paid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible scheduling, the people I worked with were friendly and laid back, you have the ability to make a child's day at Chuck E. Cheese

Cons

I worked as a cashier. Some days, I would be the only person working (besides the kitchen person, manager, and game room attendant), making me responsible for working my position as a cashier, the kid check position, and the merchandise person all at once. It's very stressful when you have people wanting to order, cash in tickets, and people wanting to come in and out, all while having to maintain the salad bar and drink station. And all for minimum wage. There is also a lot of closing work involved at Chuck E Cheese and getting out on time is not likely. Be prepared to be used and abused, especially as the new person closing Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Bottom line being, Chuck E. Cheese expects a lot for very little pay. I wouldn't recommend a job here to anyone.
