FatCats

The only reason I left fatcats was because of the GM. He has hardly any concept of what a workforce is. He'll staff less than the required amount of people during a busy day but will greatly overstaff usually slow days, and will then proceed to send people home even though the majority of the people who get sent home will ask to stay to make up hours. I as a mechanic am the only mechanic on site during my shift so I thankfully don't get that issue. What ends up happening to me though will be I have projects to fix or change certain parts of the building. The issue with this is I usually need to give my attention to the pinsetters as they are 60 years old at least and need to be fixed constantly and have no time to do any other projects around the building. The only time I asked to have an extra mechanic scheduled so I could get some projects done was at first okayed. But come the day, I was the only mechanic scheduled and I asked the GM about it and he said. "We don't think you'll be busy enough." Normally I might've agreed but that day I had at least 6 hours of projects that the GM wanted me to have done by the end of that night. On top of this my training on the pinsetters only went so far because the GM would go behind my boss's back and change the schedule so there wouldn't be any overlap of mechanics once they knew how to fix the basic stuff. This in turn affected the guests bowling more often than not. regardless of this the GM will still pressure you why certain machines aren't fixed even though you've already told him that you don't know how to fix it and it won't be fixed until the facilities manager comes back. He'll make the guest service Representatives ask to get a drink of water. That wasn't something I was aware you needed permission to do. Even though the drinking fountain is no more than 100ft From most work stations. This is only what I've experienced, so it's likely there is more going on than I am aware of because I spend only about 30% of my time helping the front desk the rest is in the back on the pinsetters.

when I did work here, it was so much fun, great opportunities, and a great learning experience.
it's a good first job for any HIghschooler, or if you need a job on the side.
the only downside is the management has issues with communicating and that they will work you one or two hours under full time but no benifits, you'll be hired as part-time and that'll be stuck on you.
extra duties will also occur but it is overall a good job, be careful and don't overwork yourself or you'll be scheduled non-stop and overtime / double shifts back to back.
BENEFITS- Benefits of fatcats aren't helping, its more of entertainment, free bowling and $1 movie tickets are nice but so are 401ks 
not only but when you ask to take breaks , if they are busy you'll be lucky, maybe 5 mins. but you cant bring in your own lunch/dinner because a microwave and fridge aren't provided and you have to either risk your MAYBE 10 mins to sprouts next door or eat the food made there.
Another issue here would only be that the morning shift is always more cared for, carefree, and treated better than night shifts, I know because I've worked both shifts back to back, which they love to do. I would get scheduled, 9 am-5 pm then work a double meaning I got an hour break in between shifts starting shift two at 5 Pm-12 am and then having to go to work the next day at 9 am again.
TIPS are a good benefit, id be taking home about 150-200 extra in cash each week, but it goes towards your taxes but if you get stuck working as a movie janitor then you don't get tips at all, maybe if you are lucky, but many people who get tipped are party hosts, CSR, managers,  kitchen staff ( tips are made up by being paid more then everyone who isn't a manager) and bar tenders, movie theater porters are paid the minimum wage and that's it, with technician its a dollar more in pay b ut not as much as I belive we ALL should be paid for the shifts we get.
in perspective - I made 900 dollars to 1,000 after taxes, while being paid 12.30 an hour, not including tips. OVERWORKED

I’ve been at Fat Cats for 8 years, at one time it was a great job with wonderful experiences and relationships. The free access to all activities is nice. However, recent changes in management, along with an ungoranized corporate office makes the job not worth the rewards. Underpaid employees all start at 7.25 an hour, with little room for advancement while also receiving 25-50 cent raises. You will be working with young un-experienced employees who lack proper training, you may find it difficult to find proper training yourself. The general management receives bonus’s based off of the labor matrix; several times out of the year, employees were lucky to get more than 12 hours a week. Typically they say for every 5 hours you work, you get a 15-30 minute break. However, more often you do not receive any break because the facility is always understaffed. It’s very stressful at times due to being so understaffed. Employees here work many saturdays with only 2-4 employees scheduled for a 7-10 hour shift. Bad employees are often ignored, while good employees are rebuked. The list you see here on this job description is literally every position in the facility. No matter what position you are at, you will be doing all of the tasks, and it becomes overwhelming with the little pay/rewards. If you would like a job where you could take friends or family bowling for free, it’s great. However, I do not recommend others to apply here.

The culture between the workers is amazing, I loved my coworkers and working on the floor with them. But once it got to management it wasn’t there. It felt like there was a lack of communication and it never got better. The hours aren’t great either. You could go from 38 hours for two weeks and then to 24. It isn’t reliable. I loved my customers and my other Csrs. That’s what made it so hard to leave but once I was being harassed by one of management for why I was leaving it sealed the deal. It’s a really fun job don’t get me wrong, I think it just needs some improvements in management then it would be amazing. I also had to fight for a pay raise. I was higher up then most. Towards the end, the new hires were being paid 1.50 less than me and the originals were still being paid what they were hired on at… I think it just needs a refresh and a good amount of work and it would be what it used to be. The pay isn’t worth the work sometimes. There was times I was left on the floor on a $5 Tuesday by myself running concessions, because they were trying to save on labor. It was demanding and exhausting someday. 

If you are going to work as a minor part time redemption employee (which is every position) you should find it to be ok.nothing else....If you are part of the management team you will be pointed at and singled out weekly, while having outrageous goals sometimes over 20% of prior year for no reason and with no extra labor or funding to support the goal. This company believes heavily in if they build it they will come, not if they maintain and grow it it they will love. remember that. You can be gold one day and aluminum the other day, all with you working as hard as you can. keep in mind that they told me that a  federal change had nothing to do with them and the old GM that left was "his deal".. But the contract had the Owners Daughters signature on the "contract". which they said never existed. your choice, have fun, good luck! 
FYI - Get copies of all contract signed and do NOT give them anything to use to profit from your own life, you will not get a return.

Fat Cats isn't the best place to work. It is a very negative work environment and the management is terrible at hiring much-needed help. FatCats struggles with giving pay raises to employees that deserve it and doesn't take the complaints given seriously. The Shift leads there were all very rude and gossiped about every employee making them feel awful when they found out. The typical day was busy in the summer and could get very stressful due to there never being enough workers. Night time we have thunder ally but the night is when we close and then that's where the shift leads pounce on their workers. There were many times when I was left at the front desk with a line out the door, dealing with complaints from customers, having to grab shoes, and having to manage a waiting list.

Fat Cats is a fun company to work for. However there's a lot of inconsistency. They change their general manager almost every year which means the staff has an extremely high turnover rate. Anyone that is not in upper management has decent pay that's barely above minimum wage on top of not receiving benefits. It's only a good temporary job if you're planning on having a first job in high school. The managers are always inconsistent. A few will follow the rules and be strict and others will goof off and not care. Bad employees tend to go unpunished while good employees tend to get overworked until they are burned out.
Everyone has their own experience but in the end there's never any real employee appreciation. 
It is also a very LDS Corporation so if you do not meet their standards you won't last very long.

This job was very easy going and great for the time that I had it. The people you work with are very nice and always happy to help you learn. I didn't like the management at the time I was there but I have heard it has changed recently which is good.  You always get free drinks as well as a free meal on shift. You also can get free bowling and arcade games for your friends as long as they don't redeem the tickets and the store is not too busy. Great place to hang out after hours. Hours are not great as there are very few daytime positions open because it is not busy. Can be very busy on the weekends. The closing was easy.

It is hard to pinpoint until you understand that you are at the intersections of Entertainment, Dining/Food, Amusement, and Retail industries. The challenges of those industries are all presented all the time, and the rewards (although present) are usually fewer the longer you allow yourself to be jaded by the challenges. FatCats is a good place to go, but it difficult to work there; I love the people, not the company.

A typical day at work was rather busy, popcorn would be going out and other concessions, cleaning would need to be done, serving, redemption counter work (tickets for prizes), restocking after a movie rush or other rush. I learned a lot about how to connect with others and work well together and to talk to people a lot easier. The hardest part of the job was probably just how busy it would be and with only having a few people working the concessions area that I worked was difficult. The most enjoyable part was the people, not just my coworkers but being able to put a smile on the faces of the guests that walk in through our doors was an amazing feeling.
