Toxic, bullying, and HR is a joke - Project Manager Punch Bowl Social Employee Review

Pros

Not much really, pay was decent I guess.

Cons

It was a blemish on my resume. The company culture is very toxic and not conducive to a productive work environment. Leadership is a joke from the top down, so many people in leadership that have no place being in their positions. The company is hemorrhaging money and the investors are p*ssed. The company will either be solvent or bought out within two years. So many things are broken and after a year of a new CEO, there’s been almost zero improvement. I learned a lot about what not to do and not how to run a company. Their “safe space” policy is a joke and routinely put up with bullying and harassment across many locations even after being brought to the attention of HR and senior “leadership”. The GMs and regionals only care about saving their own butts and don't care about their own teams.

Pros

Free food, nice coworkers, The food there was decent and always high volume on the weekends.

Cons

Imagine working a high volume restaurant where management were drinking on the shift, drama non-stop, asked to fix urinals as a part time employed not being offered any additional pay for unique skills, A bar that did not offer a happy hour or discounted special days, terribly ran on a financial and social aspect. Arcade areas were never updated and items (darts, cue sticks) stayed damaged forever.
