Pros

Free movies is a huge plus. I worked there from ages 17-21 and it almost completely eliminated my entertainment budget. Although they try to hire externally for Manager positions, they are rarely able to (read: inability to offer competitive pay). This means there is always oppurtunity for advancement from within. Obviously you have to be good at your jon and want to advance to do so.

Cons

A major con can be if you're at a slower location, you're not given the budget needed to make the kind of impact the corporate offices expect. This can hurt morale and cause General Managers to take the first oppurtunity to leave the slower location (this can aso be attributed to the fact that high volume locations come with a higher salary for the GM). Also, once you reach the Hourly MAnager level, the lack of Senior Manager positions can cause talented HOurly manager to become frustrated and bored (lack of challenge).

Pros

Flexible Schedules are nice Friendly people to work with Free movies, (drinks and popcorn and discounts sometimes) Challenging work environment means there is always plenty to do There are a variety of jobs to perform, so burn out becomes less of an issue

Cons

No room to grow professionally unless you are willing to relocate. Unless there is another AMC nearby, often that means moving to another city or state for what is usually a minimal pay raise. No decent benefits for most positions, regardless of seniority. Poor communication regarding corporate policies and procedures. Low pay, particularly for the job demands you receive the higher up you are. Occassional lack of job specificity creates ambiguous situations. You must be a sixty second salesmen in any position where cash is handled. This adds stress in a transaction that is supposed to be 15 seconds or less.

Pros

Lean working allows employees to get experience with a multitude of responsibilities. Friendly work environment and co-workers makes the company a positive place to work.

Cons

Departments do not always interact positively with one another as information is not shared across departments. Opportunities are few and far between.
