Pros

I definitely enjoy my job it’s not all grilling and tough as the other kind of work out there. I like being able to run games and seeing people have fun.

Cons

I feel like I don’t get paid enough for the amount of time that I’m there and the work I put in. I feel like I could grow within my location considering I do know the games, but I feel like they’re purposely not letting that happen.
