Pros

Good stress management experience Very similar to working at a crowded movie theater. Some minor benefits Lots of experience gained in multi tasking.

Cons

Upper management skirts the percent of allowed labor each year causing unsavory under staffing. Employees are working several positions at times even when at near capacity. The company is also divided between the games side and the restaurant side with a stronger focus on staffing the restaurant end. This a along with budget cuts round the board prevent the stores and staff from functioning on a high level.This chaotic work environment and high stress repetition of doing other employees jobs preventing you from doing your job well promotes little to no upward mobility as upper management is a constant presence pushing the ever changing "standard," and intimidating its middle management with their jobs if they cannot make the quota for these ever changing "standards".

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.
