Pros

Aside from genuinely loving my immediate coworkers, nothing. I would give this company -346735465752 stars if I could.

Cons

Management preaches nonstop about teamwork and a sense a community, but does not follow through in creating a good, team-oriented environment for employees. Any time a concern was presented to management (poor scheduling, not being paid the correct amount of money, etc), employees were met with attitude and resistance. Management is horribly unorganized and overall just not nice people. Upper management hired new staff after the pandemic instead of bringing back the employees who worked so many long, hard hours opening the store and dealt with all the drama that came with it. Basically, management just doesn't care about their employees as people, but rather as lowly workers they can exploit and toss to the side.

Two Bit Circus Response

Thank you for your feedback. When we reopened in April, we rehired all original team members within the constraints of the state-mandated capacity levels and our budgetary forecasts. We employed nearly 100 employees pre-covid and were obviously unable to rehire each and every person due to the ongoing circumstances. As we continue to expand our team, we currently employ 89% of familiar faces that were also working with us pre-covid in March 2020, including promoting from within when it came to filling Supervisory roles. It was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of those wanting to continue working with us after all this time and feel that is a perfect testament to our work environment. We've also made improvements such as implementing an online scheduling system to provide greater flexibility and convenience for our Carnies and continuing to pay above minimum wage. Teamwork is quite important to us, as you mentioned, and having employees genuinely support each other across all departments beyond their immediate team is essential to the success of that.

Pros

Co workers, management and owners are all genuinely nice people who I enjoyed being around. Pretty good money most of the time. Great money from the end of November through the beginning of January. Flexible with time off requests. Laid back work environment.

Cons

Too many promos involving “free” drinks leading to people not leaving tips. (Nothing in life is free, but if they’re not physically exchanging money at the bar, people don’t think to pull money out to tip). It’s not the business fault that people don’t tip, but they could try and mitigate that issue better. Not enough advertising to try and get people in the door. This place is huge with lots of potential, but hasn’t done much to draw in a crowd since the pandemic.

Pros

Actual work is very fulfilling. You feel like you’re part of making communities and futures better. Always new locations and interesting projects.

Cons

Very disorganized. Frequent long stretches of no work. Bad communication. Over the past year the dress code has gotten a lot more restrictive. Used to feel more playful and fun.
