Pros

I would definitely say that working at CEC Entertainment was a funfilled entertaining environment. The different personalities you come in contact with on a daily basis is interesting to see. Most of all, the kids you saw come to CEC for years grow up and become teens when you remember them being much younger. In addition, the team members and how they have progressed, both personally and professionally.

Cons

Lack of compensation for what the job requires. Not enough accountability controls against those General Managers who do not take ownership of their business and pust it down onto the lower level managers, with hopes of picking up the slack. In my experiences, management has put "friendships" over business which comes a major problem in the working environment.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
