Pros

The money is decent but not for what you have to put up with.

Cons

First of all the management is insane. They do not appreciate hard workers. If you are sleeping with one of them or selling drugs to them you are good for a job. If they are wrong they will never admit it. They are quick to pass the blame to someone else even if it costs their job. They do not care if you make money only about there sales and percentages. Guests treat you like trash and the managers never have your back. You are forced to push things on families that can't afford it and if you dont they take your shifts away. Long hours with no breaks or even able to eat. No respect for you as a person. Most times you are forced to deal with all problems on your own(so you have to play manager as well) I would say stay away. Find anything else but here. Every time someone quits the rest is left behind to clean up the mess with no appreciation or a thank you.

Pros

It's dreadful, depressing, and struggling.

Cons

Accounting department is a disaster to put it mildly. Managers in department are divided between D&B and Main Event (an acquisition). Overall impression of acquisition is awful. The relationships across both sides or each company are making improvement impossible. Most managers are under employed and doing manual tasks. Complete lack of communication. CFO asked for "help" with cash flow and marketing during town hall for employees. Office is physically depressing, cold, unhappy, with barely any sad amenities. No warm group spaces for gathering, no encouragement of team collaboration. Not to mention new ideas are not welcome, especially in the accounting department. It was a clique system.
