Fun workplace and environment for children entertainment
Hostess (Former Employee), Harrisburg, PA –
Pros: employee discounts, great food
Cons: short breaks, low pay
It was a fast- paced environment and fun place to work. I learned how to host birthday parties, problem solve and time manage in different ways in my overall experience of working there. I also learned cashiering and waitressing there. The managers were fair sometimes, but young for the most part- so their friends had better advancement opportunities. – more...  The hardest part was hosting the parties & delivering other table orders during the shortages. I mostly enjoyed the fast-paced workflow. It allowed the time to pass quickly. – less

Use You like a rat
Technician (Former Employee), Dearborn, MI –
Pros: free lunch, health insurance
Cons: low budgets, low hours, no assistance from staff
No real appreciation for your talents. You never do enough for them, always looking to get more then what is expected in job description. That no matter how well you treat people they always finds a way to use your kindness as a weakness. Going home!

Fun envrionment with high paced work
Shift Leader/Gameroom Attendant (Former Employee), Hickory, NC –
A typical day at work for me would be to keep the games and ride in working condition so customers can use them without a problem. I also had to activley go around performing customer serivce skills by engaging in conversation with the customers. Since i was a Team 2 employee, I had the responsibility of help training new hires on their first day. The – more...  management and co-workers were nice. Sometimes they would keep to their own job and not ask me for help unless I went to them first. The hardest part of the job was when The store was packed on a Saturday night and it was hard to move around effectively. The most enjoyable part about the job was seeing the smiles on the childrens' faces when I fixed games and gave them tokens to play games. – less

This was my favorite job!
Cashier/Party Hostess / Food Runner (Former Employee), Chattanooga, TN –
Pros: free lunches, good environment
Cons: closing work was way too much
At Chuck E Cheese I worked in every single department. I even became a team leader. I started out working birthday parties. That was my favorite job. I was basically a waitress for a party. I recieved minimum wage and most of the time got tipped on birthday parties. I was moved to be come a cashier. I rang orders in and was responsible for the merchandise – more...  in the backroom. I was a gameroom attendent. I fixed games when they stopped working and refilled tickets. I even cooked for a few weeks. I liked this job because I worked with my friends and they were very flexible around my schedule. The hardest part about the job was closing. The sidework is twice as much as what a server does in a restaurant. The most enjoyable part was working in a good environment. – less

Great career accomplishments; wish I had not left for Zale Corporation.
Director of Tax (Former Employee), Irving, TX –
Pros: excellent work and winning culture
Cons: compensation was lower than i perceived as fair.
I loved the challenge of revitalizing the tax group at CEC. I accomplished a lot for the 1 1/2 years that I was at CEC. Two examples are: 1-securing a $15 million refund as the result of a Pre-Filing Agreement with the IRS. 2- Completing FIN 48 internally with the minimum consulting fees.
