Pros

The concept is unlike anything else and it's really fun to play there. Most employees are very nice. Business will always be good because they have a patent on the technology. However, I'd like business to be good because they have a great experience there, not because it's the only one to go to.

Cons

Tip pool, poor communication, extremely long shifts, favoritism gets promoted before performance, Also, the building was almost $16 million, but they are still using Excel to enter financial information, and are too cheap to pay for Hot Schedules for their employees.

Pros

Fun company events, you have options on apparel to wear as long as it’s TopGolf.

Cons

Too many managers trying to micro manage. Bartending here sucks as you’re basically a service bartender. Anytime someone comes to the bar, you have to send them back to order from their bayhost. The drinks are cheater drinks, with the idea of making them easier to make quickly, but quality suffers. Good place for a green/beginner bartender. My advice is skip bartender and be a bay host. You’ll work less and make waaaay more because they put the gameplay ($20-$70/hr depending on day and time) on your food and beverage check and then people tip on the total.
