Pros

They usually pay on time Free play time for associates is nice You will meet some absolutely crazy people, literally crazy

Cons

Everything. Everything about this job was awful. You will see the worst aspects of humanity...but from corporate and management. Corporate is not responsive to complaints. Some of the awesome stuff I got exposed to: 120+ degree temps INSIDE 12-14 HR shifts no breaks/no food 55 hour weeks is the norm for management Always understaffed Food quality is awful and they lie about the product Company expects you to treat it like family, however the company itself doesn't care about you at all. As I was told by my boss, "you all are just parts of a machine and if a part breaks you just replace it." He seriously said that. No professional development HUGE divide between corporate and site level associates. They post videos on the corporate inter-site Facebook page of them rolling skittles across tables while I am witnessing employees get sexually and physically assaulted. Harassment and retaliation are part of the culture here. They will brain-wash you into thinking you're working for some new company that cares about it's "associates" however, that's all just a hook so that later when management is too lazy to work, they can just say "one team one dream, right??" This job will make you hate people, but love the guests bcs they are the only respite from the hostile work environment. The "guests" are the only people who have fun or enjoy Topgolf, because they can't see behind the scenes.

Hello, We are surprised and concerned to learn about the workplace environment you say you have experienced. Your review does not depict the Topgolf culture that we are so passionate about. Make no mistake: the safety and well-being of our Associates are of the utmost importance to us, and we take your claims very seriously. We urge you to help us research these matters further by reporting them to HR directly or by using the anonymous workplace number that’s printed in the Associate Handbook and posted in the break area at all venues.

Pros

Free golf, Flexible schedule, Good discounts on food.

Cons

What can I say? Horrible management, favoritism when it comes to scheduling and low team moral. For a place that preaches about culture and inclusion, there is literally zero. The effort most people put in is as useful as a cardboard cutout. Hard work is truly not valued and I would never recommend someone apply here. The company as a whole doesn't reward the people running the business and it shows by how they penny pinch the people on the front line who work for every dollar they make. Almost every month I would dread pre-shift meetings because we would learn about another way "it was better for us" when in reality, it was removing our opportunity to make tips and hiking up prices for guests. Also the way events were set up never benefited bayhosts, if it is positioned as a "luxury" experience autograt should be included so that all the work that goes into that experience before, during and after is seen. Overall stay away.
