Pros

Pay can be decent if you can hit your bonuses. Being able to interact with a guest and make their kids smile. No charge for meals when working and 50% off when not. Fast paced environment.

Cons

Labor controls are INSANE! Losing sight on what made the company what it was. Price for parts for some games WILL KILL YOUR BUDGET AND BONUS! Too much focus on the wrong things and not enough praise when things are going well - You can always run it a little tighter. Too many flavors of the month (IE. Labor, guest surveys, cornerstones, suggestive sales) Once you've become a Gm the ability to move up is very limited unless you don't mind moving states. Operations will be blamed for failures of other departments (IE. AP, Marketing, etc)

Pros

Free food, slightly flexible schedule. Decent training and support.

Cons

Upper management and corporate are incompetent, and do not care about your safety, or the customers. Will do anything to save a dollar because the company is on the verge of going under. You will not get any worthwhile raises, Quite frankly I don't even think the company will be around in the next few years.
