Vantaggi

The pay was commensurate with the market.

Svantaggi

Cameras pointed directly at employees (but I was assured nobody was watching them...whew), no walls/cubicles, pledge an oath to their deity while reciting their values, and they talk trash about former employees in group meetings, saying they were the worst hires they ever made... I guess I'll be on that list. 35+ employees in HQ, very limited diversity, particularly among male employees. The manager is young and green, knows surprisingly little about digital marketing but insists on changing things that don't need changed because he doesn't understand any of it. He's effectively just a cheerleader, in my opinion. UTM tags weren't properly applied when I got there, but he insisted that, despite the fact that he was running the campaigns before my arrival, it wasn't his fault that the UTM tags weren't on correctly. He also didn't keep a pacing document and couldn't give average CPA for the previous quarter when asked, so there doesn't seem to be any structure to what you might call his approach, but he wants to make decisions, nonetheless. 30-minute lunch is standard, though they were gracious enough to offer that I could take an hour if I wanted... you have to clock out for lunch as a salaried employee, for some reason. Then, the small stuff... Made to read aloud in orientation like a school child, have to make a public task list every day, constant barrage of buzzwords that mean absolutely nothing. Given tasks that were in no way related to digital marketing. In general, I can't imagine how any experienced professional would work here, long term.

Vantaggi

The team itself and the coworkers were rad. Everyone is positive and supportive but not in a toxic positive way.

Svantaggi

--its really bizarre policy to make your plus ones pay for the game...on training games. And do you get paid while training on a game? Nope. Ive never seen any other escape room operate that way and it came off so greedy that friends I brought almost questioned me working there. -very passive aggressive store management. Yes its important to have professionalism but management will get on you for petty small things that made no difference to the guest experience. They also dont seem to be familiar with workers laws in the location theyre managing. --starting out they'll send you home early rather than taking time to train you on everything. If its a tiny bit slow, you get cut. This makes pay incredibly unstable and the pay was already abysmal for the area. --I didnt mind company values at first but it rapidly becomes clear that their generosity and integrity values are only for guests, not for employees. In fact they'll be incredibly stingy towards you. --once your hours stop getting cut, if you've stayed in the trenches long enough, now they suddenly put you on for 11 hour shifts. And schedule requests are often ignored. --if I ever end up rich I want to buy the company out and run it better out of sheer spite.
