Pros

I like getting to see how happy the place makes kids

Cons

I have worked here for over 10 years and I have never hated it as much as I do now. There is a new CEO and every year I have gotten my raise and this year because they keep changing things I am told chuck e cheese is in a recession and I won't be getting one. As an assistant manager making $12 an hour it's not worth it to me for all the stuff they make you do. I have to break up fights, make sure everyone guests and employees are happy while I suffer with little to no staff members. And you get absolutely no benefits and no paid holidays while the CEO gets to sit on his butt all day and keep changing things. I have already started looking for another job and there are now 311 positions open and counting.

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.
