Pros

Seeing the Smiling faces of the kids when they redeem their tickets for prizes. Manager can get a free meal when working.

Cons

No uninterupted 30 meal break. When the manger goes on 30 minute break they are paid thier hr rate but have to go back to work if needed. Company does follow CA labor laws when it comes to paying penalty for not letting manager go on their uninterupted 30 meal break. As a manager if you take care of a customer complaint by giving them their money back you get chewed out by Superviors. At the same time if you don't give the customer what they want you get writen up for having a Customer complaint. Company won't let store schedule enough employees so they can save money. As a manager I on some nights I was the Cashier, Cook, food runner, Salad stock, and prize counter person all at the same time. Since there was only 3 empoyees schedule. One for games, 1 for kids check, and myself. Company said that was all the labor that was required. Kid of hard to take care of counter when your making pizzas. IF yu start out as a crew person and work your way up then your family. If you come from the outstde your consider and outsider and treated differently. Management team will not let you be part of their inner circle because you havent bleed with them. Low pay and no bonus unless your the GM.

Pros

Free food, slightly flexible schedule. Decent training and support.

Cons

Upper management and corporate are incompetent, and do not care about your safety, or the customers. Will do anything to save a dollar because the company is on the verge of going under. You will not get any worthwhile raises, Quite frankly I don't even think the company will be around in the next few years.
