Pros

Seeing the Smiling faces of the kids when they redeem their tickets for prizes. Manager can get a free meal when working.

Cons

No uninterupted 30 meal break. When the manger goes on 30 minute break they are paid thier hr rate but have to go back to work if needed. Company does follow CA labor laws when it comes to paying penalty for not letting manager go on their uninterupted 30 meal break. As a manager if you take care of a customer complaint by giving them their money back you get chewed out by Superviors. At the same time if you don't give the customer what they want you get writen up for having a Customer complaint. Company won't let store schedule enough employees so they can save money. As a manager I on some nights I was the Cashier, Cook, food runner, Salad stock, and prize counter person all at the same time. Since there was only 3 empoyees schedule. One for games, 1 for kids check, and myself. Company said that was all the labor that was required. Kid of hard to take care of counter when your making pizzas. IF yu start out as a crew person and work your way up then your family. If you come from the outstde your consider and outsider and treated differently. Management team will not let you be part of their inner circle because you havent bleed with them. Low pay and no bonus unless your the GM.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
