Pros

Unlimited Free movies Co-Workers are amazing Free popcorn and drinks

Cons

Everything else. Getting out 3-4 hours after scheduled shift end sometimes, sometimes getting out at 3am and having to get there in the morning at 8. Honestly, the job itself is awful. It is not worth being in charge of the entire concession stand or usher team when you only make minimum wage with no chance of getting a promotion or pay raise. I know people who have worked there 7 years and they get no pay raise. I myself was nominated by upper management as best film crew member in the district and did not even get a cent increase in pay. Not worth it.

Pros

-They use a very effective Workbrain System for clocking in/out, requesting days off, and sending messages to managers. You can easily send a day off request from your home computer. Most other jobs would force you to make the requests in person or handwritten on a board! -Obviously, the free movies. This is an amazing benefit and I try to see at least 2 a week to keep myself educated on current releases and to improve my writing quality. -Good co-workers. AMC hires people that are friendly and intelligent, and it shows when we are working together or just conversing during a slow period. -Free popcorn and soda when you work + discounts on just about every food item. (They even have discounts on candy and ice cream now... back in 2005 they did not!) -Based on AMC surveys, we can also get free food/discount food when we're not even working, and our theater has been hitting those goals more often than not. -While the hours are not always enough lately, if you work hard, they will make an effort to give you as many hours as they can. -Some people don't enjoy it, but I enjoy the challenge of selling people Stubs.

Cons

-From what I was told, they no longer offer commission for achieving high sales numbers. In my first stint here in 2005-07, if someone made $2000+ (concession) or $10,000+ (Box Office), they would get something like a 1% commission... it would end up being $20-$30 added to a daily shift, so 4 hours of work or so. But that is no longer around. -The "crew bucks" have some decent bonuses but they are rather limited in how they can be used. -You get minimum wage and they no longer offer raises for learning new tasks like Concession or Box Office. Raises only come through the six-month evaluations that employees receive. -Some guests can be rude, and others are a bit too polite. They may have no interest in Stubs whatsoever, but will let you go through your whole sales technique before declining the offer. -We are limited to 28 hrs average (weekly) per month... so you might get 35-40 hrs a week on a holiday week, but then only 2 or 3 short shifts when it's a slow week.
