CEC Entertainment Employer Reviews

Perform preventive maintenance and repairs on games and restaurant equipment. I'm always learning something new.

Chuck E. Cheese was a great place to work. It was always enjoyable.

ITS A FUN PLACE BUT YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD AND ITS NICE TO SEE FAMILYS HAPPY

I worked open to close weekend on a regular basis with no brake. I did all the work of a team two and birthday coordinator but their too cheap to give me a raise. After two years with no raises and being treated poorly by new management I had to Get out. The place is dirty, full of poor sanitation habits. I personally do not eat there anymore, or even – more... go there, since learning all the dirty truths. – less

I loved working with the kids. It was a great place to work I just had to move on.

Working here taught me to be patient and loving of children and their parents.

A typical day at work, is helping with prizes, filling the salad bar, keeping the work place clean and costumer service. Patience, kindness and team work. Management is lenient but ready to help at any given moment. Each co-worker has their own task but are there to help when needed. Closing time has its difficulties because of the need to have everything – more... cleaned before being able to go home. Seeing the kids enjoy themselves so much as they play and dance with Chuck- E. – less

CEC was very diverse and colorful. A fun workplace that taught me how to interact with people of all ages. Management was very organized and easy to communicate with. Co-workers were extremely helpful and energetic. The hardest part of the job was initially coming out of my shell. This helped me become the outgoing person I am today. I would have to – more... say that all I had learned working for CEC Entertainment was enjoyable. I learned things about myself as well as how to work with people from different backgrounds. – less

As a General Manager in waiting I soon found that the day to day demands of the job (cleaning,cooking,greeting people, etc) made it almost impossible to be an effective manager.

You can't do your job if your doing the jobs of employees that should be hired but aren't because the corporate office won't allow it.

Bottom line is that the work, stress, – more... and overall BS isn't worth what you get in return.

Oh, did I mention all the pain in the you know what parents? – less

I was not trained, I was written up with no understanding of the rules and no warning. Managers choose favorites.I had to stand out in the snow for an hour because of the manager not having access to the store.I was hired for a job I never got to do. Constant shooting either in the parking lot or at the building itself! staff has to buy their entire – more... outfit.staff cannot play games. – less

Days were normally good as we were visited by our return guest, some weekly, monthly, yearly. Our management team learned to deal with the needs of different families so that every guest left happy.
The hardest part was managing teenagers.
The most enjoyable seeing the smiles on the kids faces and knowing they had fun, as well as the parents when we – more... did our jobs right – less

i mean, you have to like kids or else you'll lose your mind, you will be doing everything other than your job title, expect nothing less. it will feel like you shouldn't be there some days, but other times you will have fun.

I held many responsibilities at CEC starting with security at the front entrance to prepping the salad bar as well as keeping up with it during the day, being a cashier who knew all the offers we had going on at the moment and running the prize counter as the helper to give all the children that just won their hard earned tickets a chance to redeem – more... them (while learning math in the process). I was also able to go out in the community as Chuckie and show kids the importance of coming out for positive events (such as their fundraisers for their schools). My co-workers were a lot younger than me and it made for a less professional environment at times which would also have to be settled but overall it was good to get involved with the parents and kids alike in an interactive job such as this. I believe however CEC didn't hold enough challange, professionalism at times or customer service for someone like me. It also held no hope of advancement. – less

The work you put in to this job is not worth the money. You start at minimum wage.

Unlike these new reviews that claim its a great job..I really did work there. It was completely disorganized, dirty, the management was horrible. The hours are ridiculous you are required to do the job of 50people. Everyone thinks their a manager. I only had one actual manager out of the real managers who was nice and cared. Everyone else was rude and – more... always yelling! Dont work here even if your desperate! – less

This job was a great "get me by" job. It had an extremely stressful atomosphere with the screaming kids, then the screaming adults to control their kids and then the usual "get your order wrong" stuff. Overall I would tell anyone who needed a job to take it. But at the same time; look elsewhere.

set up birthday parties, confirm with parents and remind them of the big day, handled money and cashier, organized entire party, waitress

Chuck E Cheese is the best place to work if you love kids. You have the advantage to make children happy

Italian Pizzeria was the best place I ever worked. The management is productive and treats thier employees very well.

Chuck E. Cheese was my first job while i was senior in high school. I really enjoyed meeting and heling all the guest that came in to havesome whole family fun.
