Pros

The only thing I really liked working there was the staff, everybody got along great, which was the only reason why I stayed as long as I did.

Cons

The owners are really shady, which in turn leaves management not knowing what is really going on with the company. They make promises of "growth" to lead their employees on in order to stay with the company longer. EVERYONE, except for the owners, is underpaid and since it's a start-up (of almost two years) they constantly change roles and regulations at their whim. They constantly say they will do things that they don't go through with. If you don't look busy enough to them they will put you to clean all of the facilities (which is not mentioned prior to hiring), honestly if I wanted a cleaning job I would have applied to one and would have earned A LOT more. I disagree with the other review in that they don't really care about their employees/team, otherwise they would pay everyone a fair livable wage of at least $15/hour. If you're not religious, stay away, you might feel discriminated against as the owners are very Christian and vocal about their beliefs as stated in their core values and even donate a portion of the earnings to religious charities oversees (instead of first taking care of their own employees).

Pros

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

Cons

--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.
