Fantastic starter job, but doesn't pay the bills

Operations coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very flexible hours, free movies, cheap food... Also, if you advance to a leadership position, the experience you get can be transferred to almost any other (better paying) job... A lot of responsibilities looks good on resumes :-) I don't think I would have gotten half the interviews for quality jobs that I did if I didn't have scheduling, supervising, training, and banking experience to fall back on.

Cons

The pay is terrible... Even managers don't make more than $14-$15/hr. You need to be senior management before you can expect to make a viable living off of AMC salary. Also, as flexible as they are with hours, they want you to be flexible too. You need to work most holidays, and sometimes you'll close (2AM) one night and open (8AM) the next morning.

Good first step

Pros

It is definitely a great first job to have while in high school. There are opportunities to advance to high responsibility positions early on. These positions don't pay very well, but you will have many great experiences to talk about in future job interviews. The medical is actually very affordable and the coverage is good. I left and went on COBRA, and the costs actually stayed the same, less than $100 per month. For teenagers, the benefits are pretty nice. Free movies, pre-release screenings, free and discounted concessions, and a fun work environment. They are very flexible with scheduling needs. There are many hours to be worked, and most employees are high school and college students. Management usually doesn't have a problem with scheduling requests except for holidays sometimes.

Cons

If you are looking for a career, the absolute lowest level you need to achieve is General Manager. The GM at my theatre was making around $100k after 20+ years. However, my theatre was one of the busiest in the company. If you became a GM of a low volume theatre, you wouldn't make as much. The movies never close. There are no holidays, and it can be very aggravating to deal with so many guests.

Great high-school job... but even managers should leave as soon as they finish college.

Business Outlook

Pros

The flexible schedules and free movies were nice, and the unique atmosphere provides diversified experience for its employees.

Cons

The pay is not competetive beyond the minimum-wage sector. Promotions are given but no incentive is provided to retain experienced individuals. This results in managerial incompetence that trickles down.
