Pros

CEC is a pretty good first job opportunity for students looking to acquire much needed customer service skills while learning to persevere through high stress fast paced interaction in the hospitality sector.

Cons

They're pretty cheap on shift availability for most of the staff and the pay rate for everyone except for the technical managers and general manager is extremely sub par it was about 40% less than other jobs in my position. Alongside communication with upper level management and head office was iffy at best especially after the buyout. During my 3 years there none of our human resources contact information was never updated and seeing people only getting 5 hours a week was pretty sad.

Pros

-They give you free food up to $30 -The benefits are fairly decent -High mileage pay for traveling -Lots of diversity and inclusion

Cons

-The worst upper management you’ll ever work for. Constant micromanaging. Sets unrealistic expectations with zero support or assistance. All while they take long vacations. -Preach “company standard” but flip flop on every decision with no notice -Constant labor crunch. Expects miracles with ~3 people on shift. -Will have to work out of your area with no added pay -Training is hit or miss. If you don’t speak up immediately about something you weren’t taught, they will blame you. -If salaried, will probably have to work over 40hrs will no additional incentive -Customers above all else. They are rewarded for complaints and you will definitely be punished. -Heavy AI usage. Even in biased customer surveys that will count against you.
