Pros

If you really love games and food (and who doesn't), the environment in the building is right for you. The vibe is high, the energy is flowing, and the games are.... really loud. People are usually always smiling-- the guests love to come here to enjoy themselves. The staff is encouraged to challenge themselves with back-of-house contests. Well, the wait-staff. The arcade technicians are often excluded from such festivities.

Cons

The training for the arcade technicians leaves much to be desired. The tools for success aren't necessarily ready-at-hand, but if you work hard and stay diligent, you can overcome their electronics training deficiencies.

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.
