Dave & Buster's Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

The guests. I stay as positive as I can but with the managment not being avalible when servers need them and clashing of personalities it's hard to stay positive.

I like how we support, encourage and help each other out.

the regulars are the best part about the environment

The employees i work with

The team of employees that work here

There isn't anything really positive past the commonplace birthday acknowledgement. It would also be worth it to mention that if you work on the amusements side you might as well be nonexistent.

Its very family first and friendly

The coworkers are the only positive aspect about this job and the free no ticket game cards are fun.

We are planning events that create life long memories for our guests.

There are games and activities at the corporate office. You won't have time to use them, so they're really decoration.

Everyone always comes in a good mood. This is the work environment. That is good energy. It's all about fun and make money

The people who come to work and actually do there job.

The people that I use to work with. All the food people are gone and still leaving because of the lack of communication

Another of j1s to help one understand other country's and there languages

The private security officer's they care.

Well ive made friends there and ppl actually listen to me

The hourly workers are always a bright spot to my day

The guest the laughter the experience the team members

When you have the managers who look out for the employees who care and work their hardest it feels nice and strives you to do better. Sadly, many managers try to micromanage and show favoritism for outside of work activities.

Review from Customer Support Dept

I like the nice things people say

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

They pin people against each other and encourage competition instead of teamwork

A better manager with a better attitude

All the managers and change some workers

People who love what they do, People who care about the environment and a manager who can put employees shoes

Everything especially management and our pay

If you claim to be a family friendly place then don't cheat employees families out of the money that is earned

To much to type there isnt enough characters

The executive team's frame of mind when it comes to being fair

The managers and my boss.

Review from Operations Dept

The negativity around needs to stop

Management needs to be more present not dusting off everything that is said from a employee

Review from Customer Support Dept

as said before, better communication would definitely create much more positive and better overall vibes. Body language and the way employees are approached / spoken to by other persons in higher authority such as supervisers and managers also needs to change. It's always very unacceptably wrong.

Review from Operations Dept

Well I would like to have more awesome workers
