CEC Entertainment is currently hiring for roles in food preparation, cook, and pizza maker positions.

The role involves a variety of physical activities such as lifting objects up to 50 pounds, standing, bending, reaching, and walking during shifts. The environment includes elements like flashing lights, moving mechanical parts, and loud noises typical of an entertainment and dining facility. The company emphasizes a culture of inclusion, diversity, and respect and provides reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities to perform job functions.

CEC Entertainment offers a robust benefits package that supports employees nationwide. Employees have access to telemedicine services, early wage access, a 401(k) retirement plan, employee meal discounts, an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), tuition savings and scholarships, and financial relief resources.

Full-time employees working an average of 29.5+ hours per week qualify for comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid sick and vacation time, paid holidays where applicable, flexible spending accounts (FSA), health savings accounts (HSA), life and disability insurance, legal coverage, voluntary benefits, and additional educational and student loan support.
