Great place to work with the right management (2014)
Feb 17, 2023 - Bar Back/Bartender in Katy, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- Good opportunities to advance in the company, if you're a hard worker and a team player.
Cons
- High turnover because of the demographic the lower-paying positions attract (high school students and young-adults with little to no work experience). - Not a lot of accountability and too easy for team members to slack off with no consequence

Terrible management
Dec 10, 2022 - Game Attendant in Baton Rouge, LARecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Most of the coworkers were great, and in slow periods we had a lot of fun.
Cons
Managers showed blatant favoritism to certain people, let minors go past their scheduled hours while the rest of us struggled for hours. Put at least one person in two different departments, even though that person said they didn't want to be a part of the one they started with. Constantly dragged people from various departments into helping out Team Service, even when those departments were short-staffed themselves. Managers were never there when you needed them, causing guests to have to wait for more than a few minutes on multiple occasions. Never was a meeting to discuss problems within specific departments that needed to get brought up at the appropriate time and place.

It was alright for a high school job
Jan 30, 2023 - Game Attendant in Stafford, TXRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Hours were pretty flexible. Esp on weekends, they open early and close at 2:00 am. They have programs in place to help you grow in rank if you want to make this a career. They have tuition reimbursement if you work here during college.
Cons
The pay was terrible. I worked there for 3 years and only got a raise to 7.75/hr. Management played favorites in terms of who they gave shifts and lock-ins to.
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Good pay and flexibility for youths
Cons
Tips must be shared and work not always same
