Pros

This is genuinely a fun job with great management at my location. They care about what they do and it's always a good time in the control room.

Cons

I feel a lot of pressure on my store from the higher-ups at times. We're not being paid nearly enough for the work we are expected to complete. I'm expected to put 1000% effort into this job where my set hours are not guaranteed, and by the end of a given week my 38-hour work week has turned into 30 simply because of the nightly cuts to hours. That doesn't work for me a lot of the time as someone making an hourly wage.

Pros

The team itself and the coworkers were rad. Everyone is positive and supportive but not in a toxic positive way.

Cons

--its really bizarre policy to make your plus ones pay for the game...on training games. And do you get paid while training on a game? Nope. Ive never seen any other escape room operate that way and it came off so greedy that friends I brought almost questioned me working there. -very passive aggressive store management. Yes its important to have professionalism but management will get on you for petty small things that made no difference to the guest experience. They also dont seem to be familiar with workers laws in the location theyre managing. --starting out they'll send you home early rather than taking time to train you on everything. If its a tiny bit slow, you get cut. This makes pay incredibly unstable and the pay was already abysmal for the area. --I didnt mind company values at first but it rapidly becomes clear that their generosity and integrity values are only for guests, not for employees. In fact they'll be incredibly stingy towards you. --once your hours stop getting cut, if you've stayed in the trenches long enough, now they suddenly put you on for 11 hour shifts. And schedule requests are often ignored. --if I ever end up rich I want to buy the company out and run it better out of sheer spite.
