Pros

-Really fun job -Least stressful job I've ever had -Long days so get more time off -The team make the job great

Cons

AVOID WORKING HERE, GO FIND ANOTHER ESCAPE ROOM -The owners can't let go of power so do everything in the company right down to doing the rota, which the area manager could easily do. -Very little to no communication from the owners and are very hard to get hold of when you need to talk to them. Have been left on read for days at a time. -You are expected to come into work at the drop of a hat but have shifts are cancelled with no notice. Sometimes on the day of the shift. -The workplace "teasing" gets taken too far and becomes offensive and very unprofessional.

Pros

- Fantastic team of friendly and enthusiastic staff - Interesting job role with lots of creative problem solving involved - Often a fair amount of overtime / extra shifts available - Customers are generally lovely

Cons

- Most senior management (including the directors) create an awkward and hostile working environment. Comments made in the office can be offensive - Little regard for employees welfare and complaints are not taken seriously. Communicating any concerns is very difficult - 0 hour contract generally offered. Hours therefore vary greatly, as does pay (which is minimum) - No proper training provided. I was training new starters within a few months of working there myself - 13 hour days
