Waste of passion - Team Leader Round One Entertainment Employee Review

Pros

You'll learn a lot about how arcades and games run if that's your interest, it's a fast paced environment when it's busy but if it's slow you'll need to have a lot of initiative to keep yourself busy which makes you look good in management's eyes

Cons

No benefits to working here; 30% off one meal per shift and a free drink with no refills. Three free games of bowling a week. You're not allowed to play games that give tickets or prizes (even as an off the clock customer), not allowed to come to the store on the weekends even with friends and family. No discounts really, even for customers. If you're a gamer and interested in fighting games or music games, don't work here. Management can't do anything without corporate approval, even for small things like signs instructing customers how to play certain games (super helpful since a fair amount of games are in Japanese and no one in my area speaks Japanese except maybe 3 people), hard to be recognized and appreciated for hard work unless the managers like you (favoritism), but most of the issue is corporate. Even when management wants to pay you more they can't because they have to clear it through a suit who has never met you and never will.
