What it's like to work at R-CADE

In April of 2022 we extended our opening hours for the Easter school holidays. This meant that we needed an extra pair of hands to help out. We threw out a wee job vacancy online, interviewed some folks and choose Gary to come work with us for three weeks.

It has been a crazy three weeks with almost every single session being fully booked with families visiting to play games and hang out. We threw poor Gary right in the deep end from day one, but after three weeks he is still here, about to work his last shift at R-CADE, and we wanted to ask him how he felt about his R-CADE experience: So you have survived three weeks working at R-CADE, how are you holding up?

I look and feel like Rocky after his fight with Ivan Drago. Haha only joking, I'm sad it's coming to an end soon. I've had that much fun it didn't feel like I was actually at "work" once.

What has been your favourite thing about working at R-CADE?

Definitely the whole community/family feeling. From the staff making everyone feel welcome to the customers who all bring their own unique vibe, it's just a great place to be and it made me feel extremely happy and not self conscious at all about being who I want to be.
