Pros

Super flexible hours, professional communication and standards, fun environment to work in

Cons

strict uniform policy, and rules about what you can and cannot say while on the property. Can feel very helicopter parent and there is no room for personal expression unless you dye your hair or paint your nails.

Pros

Fun work environment since you are running escape games for guests.

Cons

This company is being investigated by the government for wrongful discrimination; I received a message asking me to give my statement as I was wrongly terminated. Weird company culture where they make you recite values, including Christian religious values that you are required to learn and be tested on even if you are not religious. I was fired for making a joke on an Instagram story, that had prior authorization from my team leader, but my account was stalked by someone at TEG, and I was reported and quickly fired by sensitive upper management. It was a joke about the values we are required to recite and how these principles resemble authoritarianism. Also, the pay is NOT worth it.

Pros

The guests are awesome! Running games is super fun! Getting to learn about tech. Theoretically, the mission, vision, and values are a good standard to hold, when applied fairly.

Cons

If you don't mind getting your shifts cut just to be asked to come in on your planned off days, this is the place for you (looking at you work/life balance) Management WILL coach for gossiping (even when its not gossip), but will turn around and SPILL TEAL (if you're a favorite). Speaking of favorites, those are the people with consistent schedules that DON'T get shifts cut or sent home early. Oh and DON'T USE THIS JOB AS A CRUTCH FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH because this WILL get you fired. If you're planning to work here, don't just drink the koolaid, CHUG IT.
