Pros

First you learn how to PM games which is cool and all, but it's not as in depth as assistant tech is. First your PM guy, then you're assistant tech. As assistant tech, you get to work in depth with the hardware of the games and rides. Working the morning shift is really nice, it gives you times to fix what you need to fix with the games before the rush comes in. The store that I'm working at it's seen as a management position which is nice because you can do interviews, validations and tons more other cool things that a manager would do. As an Assistant tech manager, I'm currently training to become the Tech manager. All in all it's a great experience, and the first step through the door to becoming a Tech Manager.

Cons

Heavy lifting, you get shocked if you don't turn stuff off properly, and in my case you might get stuck with a crazy Tech Manager that you have to learn from.

Pros

Free Pizza Get to expand technical abilities by working on games Develop customer service skills talking to over 100 guests a day (given you work in the front of the house) Build responsibility by handling large amounts of cash Learn to make pizzas and prepare certain foods Build leadership and learn the importance of teamwork. You can't make a guest happy without a cashier, without a person to make food, without someone to serve and attend a guest. Everyone needs to work together to get the job done New Chuck E Campaign seems to be promising Always changing - so you learn to adapt to change Flexible schedule - most people are needed on weekends

Cons

Raises are extremely rare Opportunities to move up are also rare Training is limited Management can be difficult to work with at times Store can get dirty quickly - cleaning up after little kids isn't always the best Not a professional environment No direct deposit for part time

A headache.

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.
