The commission structure provides additional earning potential based on membership and Fun Pass sales, paid bi-weekly.

The work environment includes exposure to loud noises, flashing and flickering lights, and moving mechanical parts, all underpinned by the company's strict health and sanitation standards designed to protect the well-being of both employees and guests.

CEC Entertainment supports its workforce with an extensive benefits package tailored to different employee categories. All employees have access to telemedicine services, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program, tuition savings, scholarships, and financial relief resources. Part-time employees may opt into fixed indemnity medical coverage, dental and vision options, and voluntary life and short-term disability benefits. Full-time employees averaging 29.5+ hours weekly receive comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid sick and vacation time, holidays (where applicable), flexible spending accounts, life and disability insurance, voluntary benefits, legal coverage, and additional educational support.
