Employees also have opportunities for scholarships, work perks, and participate in referral programs as well as support through the CEC Cares Fund, which offers assistance during times of hardship.

Working at Chuck E. Cheese means being part of a team empowered to deliver exceptional service through cross-training across various positions, enhancing both personal skills and teamwork. The role requires physical ability to lift, bend, stand for extended periods, and adapt to the lively and sometimes intense work environment that includes flashing lights and loud noises. The company is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, underscoring its inclusive workplace culture.

CEC Entertainment's values emphasize safety, health, diversity, and a genuine passion for creating a place "Where a Kid Can Be a Kid®." Employees are encouraged to bring energy, enthusiasm, and excellent customer service skills to their work, supporting the creation of fun, family-friendly experiences that keep guests coming back.
