Pros

Great clientele, beautiful updated facility. lots of perks for employees like free bowling, free arcade, discounted food. Employee appreciation parties create a family atmosphere among staff.

Cons

It's the kind of place where management never thinks they are at fault. Managers are pulled every direction with no training, employees are trained by managers who are making up the rules as they go or by other staff that was thrown at the new people with no preparation. Upper management was more interested in adding bells and whistles to their facility instead of approving raises for staff on multiple occasions, only bending to give raises when staff threatens to quit. From the outside looking in everything is smooth and classy, but if you get a chance to see how the sausage is made it is a brutally favoritist system that chooses to take advantage of their employees under the guise of "good business decisions". HR is either biased or non existent in most cases, several times HR issues were swept under the rug by HR themselves. Managers are told continually to protect the interests of the company over the interests of their employees. Rumors are allowed to spread aggressively, toxic work environment complaints and sexual harassment complaints are largely ignored. Not a healthy work environment for those spending full time there. Looking at other reviews and seeing that the owner wants to get on glass door and argue about every negative review is really indicative of the leadership style here.

Thanks for taking the time to review Pinheads. It sounds like your experience was not great. Pinheads is working hard to improve the team member experience and the culture. We are not a perfect company, but I disagree with the idea of us being a sinking ship. We are striving to be better each day. We can never do enough to show appreciation to our dedicated team. Their efforts are beyond measure. Thank you for your time spent at Pinheads. I hope you find employment that better suits your needs.

Pros

- Decent Pay IF YOU PUT IN THE WORK - Opportunities to move up (even if you started a month beforehand) - Some employees / managers are great humans

Cons

- No appreciation for employees who work hard - FAVORITISM (you will know exactly who) - GM doesn’t know how to do the work on the floor so don’t ask him for help - No praise when you do something good but if you do something wrong ? You’ll hear plenty about it - All shift managers are NEW NEW (barley started serving / bartending a month before becoming manager) don’t know a lot of things so senior employees get asked for help ALOT (BUT most of them are amazing people and I hope they learn and do great things)
