Ok place to work for
Snackbar Attendant & Party Hostess (Former Employee), CA – February 19, 2013
Pros: number 1 center out of all centers, 25c games, regular bowlers, amazing co workers
Cons: poor pay, scheduling conflicts, poor communication
My beginning position was a snackbar attendant. As time passed they offered me more positions such as customer service and party hosting for more hours. I preferred party hosting over any of the jobs due to the interactions with children and the tips are always a plus. I once got $120 after hosting a 80+ people party. I would do it again in a heartbeat. – more... It was an over all decent company to work for. It's more like a first job type of job to me. Management & supervision could have been better. I loved my manager & co workers but like most jobs, we had our days that we didn't get along. I would have quit a long time ago if it weren't for my co workers and the friendship I built with some of the regular bowlers and customers. They made working worth it and fun. The job was too strict for something so simple. For a biiig company, their pay is horrible!!! No benefits for part time workers either. Even if they worked more hour weekly than full time! Crazy right? But I'm not gonna knock them. – less

WORST job i ever had!!!
lackey (Former Employee), LousyJob, USA – January 31, 2013
Pros: customers always great!
Cons: everything else
General manager felt like he was the only one who could do anything right. Extreme lack of training. Most employees tenured but worthless and thought they were better than you. Absolutely no fair-shake to try and succeed in your job. Many split shifts and no opportunity to learn anything. Anytime you thought you did something good, it went unnoticed. – more... Absolutely no advancement possibilities at all! – less

hell on earth
snack bar operater (Former Employee), naperville il – January 27, 2013
Pros: 50% off meals 25 cebt games
Cons: short breaks, carelessness about employees, horrible dirt working conditions
Worst place I ever worked at. They treat you like scum, terrible mangagement, don't care for their employees, will fire you in a second without thought, terrible disgusting working conditions.

Once I dropped a pizza and the general manager told me to put it back in the oven and give it out anyways.
Even the managers don't know how to work in all the – more... different departments. – less

TERRIBLE CORPORATION TO WORK FOR!
Pinsetter Technician (Former Employee), Montgomery, Al – January 18, 2013
Pros: 50% off meals, 25 cent games for you and your immediate family
Cons: no breaks, low wages, do not care about their employees, no benefits for hourly employees, just to name a few
I worked for Brunswick located in Montgomery, Al. I would normally never take the time to write this review but, I feel people should know the truth. First of all, the opportunity for career advancement is a bold face lie. Brunswick promotes people from inside the company and ships them where they are needed. I worked for them for almost five years – more... and was never given the training or recognition for a higher position. You receive no benefits unless you are a manager or higher. As I mentioned before, you will not get this position if you just applied with no former experience with Brunswick. They do not care about their employees and simply focus on how much money they are making. I went through jaw surgery recently and told them that I was to be on light duty. They chose to stick me on the hardest shift with absolutely no help. Management at my center was pretty much nonexistent. They will tell you what you want to hear and then completely ignore you afterwards. Sorry to make this review so long but if it helps at least one person to avoid the mistake of their life, it was well worth it. – less

Managment sucks! and your packed in like a rat in a small cube
engineer (Former Employee), merrit island fl – January 18, 2013
Cons: robot work for mushroom people and monkeys
This place was OK "There is a lot of employee turn over" because of poor management. control freaks

Not to mention "they pack you in like a rat between three people." The work is OK if you want to make pretty pictures all day for Penny's an hour

Busy, but enjoyable workplace.
Snack bar attendant. (Current Employee), Augusta, GA – January 12, 2013
Pros: 25 cent bowling
Cons: low pay, short to sometimes no breaks, scheduling conflicts
When i first clock in, the first thing I do is check to see what needs to be stocked and prepped. After, I begin to take customers orders and cook their food. At the end of my shift I go back through and make sure that everything is stocked up for the next shift. I have learned to be very patient with people, for the simple fact that not everyone is – more... the same. My manager is pretty decent. She tries to work our schedule around with our home lives, seeing how most of us have a child. I get along pretty well with mhy co-workers, even though I may not like all of them, I deal with them. It gets tough working in the kitchen when you are by yourself and you get customer after customer with multiple orders. You have to take every customers order along with getting drinks and cooking all of the food. I enjoy being able to see my friends and boyfriend just about everyday when I work because they all bowl. I try to enjoy myself everyday at work but keep it professional. – less

Great place if you like to be slaved without the proper pay.
Gameroom attendant/ assistant supervisor (Former Employee), Homewood,Illinois – September 25, 2012
Terrible place to work. Especially at the Homewood location. Management is extremely poor and there is hardly room for advancement. Only family members or league bowlers that know the managers get jobs and higher pay. Very corrupt society to work in.

Bowling Counter Operator (Former Employee), Brunswick Zone Austell – February 7, 2012
Pros: free bowling, food discounts, regular customers

A decent company (ethically) to work for. Do not expect a decent raise. The odds of advancement are very low.
