I would give them zero stars if possible but it won’t let me. Very simple job and great in that regard but there are no employee benefits or bonuses. You don’t get tips ever either and you will be working in an extremely unsanitary location. I got the flu 3 times since working here within the span of 8 months because the inflatables have only been cleaned once since the building has been opened and laser tag vests haven’t never been washed or cleaned. Take a look at the layer of dust covering the inflatables if you ever visit!

You will have to take your break and if there’s no break floater and there’s lots of customers no one will want to cover you for your break, including the hosts and managers, yet you will get in trouble and written up for not taking your break.

Poor management as managers care more about tiny insignificant details more than overall employee and customer satisfaction. Most of the arcade games are broken and every time I have told my manager or a host this they pretend as if they care and will tell you they will fix it, but they never do and I have to go right back to apologizing to every customer who comes up to me complaining that their credits were taken from a game that doesn’t work.

Our manager was the worst at scheduling and would act like our lives ONLY revolve around Arena Sports! He would never finish the schedule every month, to the point that it would be the day before a day with 5+ open shifts and would ask people to take those shifts instead of putting people on the schedule originally like a manager should. Would let up to 9 people call out for a single day then beg the other employees to take the open shifts when we’re already working other days and have our own lives! 

Didn't get properly trained as after each time I had someone different train me they didn't want me "following them around" or were high and left me by myself to figure things out on my own. 

I guarantee you that you will be bored out of your mind working here and you will end up hating it after a couple of months once you realize that you get no reward from working here. Everyone ONLY notices the bad stuff you do like slacking off as a result of nobody bothering to appreciate you or your hard work for when you DO manage to do a good job! Not even a simple thank you every now and then from the hosts or manager or them telling you any positive feedback from the customers or just from noticing themselves.

This job deals with kids, who most of the time are still untrained in how to act and behave outside of their houses and parents, who sometimes would exhibit similar behavioral issues. Nonetheless, you needed patience, honesty, and ENERGY to succeed here. The pay was pretty good assuming this was your first job, coworkers are hit and miss; some you create very deep and lasting relationships with while others you forget even worked with you. The management for the most part was pretty reliable, not much complaints there but sometimes it did feel like calling out was a bit too lenient and you'd have to take up other peoples slack a lot of the times but that's to be expected when 90% of the employees are undisciplined teenagers. 

Workdays were long and gruesome, especially summer camps, but you did feel a sense of achievement after every day. You're forced to be outside of your comfort zone every day by dealing with the children, but those same children will also give you a sense of dare I say happiness when they begin to properly control a soccer ball, or learn how to cooperate within the class environment. 

All in all, pretty good.

Working at this arena, for the past 6 months has been the worst experience working for any company. The management is very unorganized and not helpful to employees making it very difficult  to come into work every day. The referees are disrespected to the max here at this arena from the staff disrespecting them to the management. Being a ref here and having my own Calls over turned by staff workers and still allowing players with red cards to still continue playing on the field. Disobeying the arenas own rule book. Management has no respect for employees privacy in conversations and will say what happened in your guys conversation to other employees. Furthermore another concern with this arena is the health hazard it brings with the bibs/pennies for drop ins on Friday night have not been washed for days and smell awful and contains many bacteria unhealthy for the players playing. 

I do not recommend working here nor spending your hard earned money to enjoy the sport we call soccer here

Thank you.

Decent place to work. Started off really excited to work & grow in my job at Arena. The lower level staff are the most amazing & pleasant people to work with, half of leadership team however aren’t always pleasant to work with & can talk down to and about other employees, lacking professionalism & creating an unsafe environment. Certain leadership members were absolutely incredible, unfortunately it was not all. Your experience at Arena can widely change depending on whose leadership you work under. 

I set up fields, coached the players, then cleaned the field up. I had some training as a shadow to the other coaches as an assistant coach and after a few weeks I became a lead coach. The culture is very good and I liked spending time playing and teaching soccer. At times I felt that I lacked certain knowledge, like how to run a certain drill, which led me to not perform at my best.

Very social work environment for coaching kids soccer, physically demanding, but a blast the entire time. Our typical involved a clock in and then preparing our curriculum for our classes. After gathering the curriculum we taught and participated in each class. The hardest part of our job is "keeping the fire burning" you have to active and running around the entire time, it's up to you to keep up motivation.

I was really excited about this job and had a fantastic time when I was working there, but I just didn’t feel like anyone who also worked at my position in the company wanted any newcomers. It was very exclusive and the whole atmosphere was like walking on eggshells around certain coworkers and managers. I was afraid to ask for help because they perceived it as me not being able to do my job and would passively scold whilst acting as if they’re helping.

My typical day was helping customers from ages of 18 months to 90 years old. Always helping and leading the children to be better socially and soccer players. The best part was meeting such a diverse group of people and no day was the same. I loved seeing the improvement of children. One of the hardest parts was so many personality's but just one step at a time and have fun.

I wasn’t their that long but when I was working their I was having harassment and bullying happening to me. Always gossiping or talking about me behind my back or literally right in front of me. It was mostly the coworkers, the leadership and management were the ones that were only nice to work with. 

so you have to dress in a sort of track suit. okay no big deal. but everything else...ugh. they constantly CONSTANTLY ridiculed you for any and everything. you could be sitting there doing your job and theyd find something to get you in trouble for. everyone who works there is two faced and has their favorites and the newbies are never it. they dont like confrontation or problems but they certainly do a great job at creating it. just dont.
