You are basically a SLAVE! There are three main Film Crew (associate) shifts: concession, usher, and porter.
CONCESSION SUCKS!!!! You behind a cashier all day and right in front of a hot popcorn popper, so you're always feeling hot and you get sweaty because annoying customers makes you run around. Customers are sooo annoying and needy that it's ridiculous. When I first started I was like "I can get along with people, I have good patience." NO! Once you are behind that cashier for 6-8 hours straight...people can get to you.
USHER SUCKS!!!! You have to make sure all the theaters are clean and the floors are clean. Sometimes 3 or like 5 theaters end at or around the same time and you have to run from one theater to the next cleaning them and making sure you get them clean on time before the next movie starts. It really sucks because people leaver EVERYTHING in the theaters!!! Like you you see popcorn all over the floor, spilled drinks, food everywhere, and like drinks still full (you would think if someone paid 5.50 for a drink that they would at least DRINK it -__-) Being an usher sucks..but its ok on slow days...slow days are basically the Mon-Thurs when everyone is at school or working, but I always worked Fri-Sun (the busy days) because I had school throughout the weekdays...
PORTER SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Being a porter is basically cleaning the restrooms OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR 6-7 HOURS STRAIGHT! OMG ITS SOOOO GROSSSSSS!!!!! If you're a guy then the porter shift is probably the best shift because guys restrooms don't get dirty, so they basically don't have to do anything. GIRLS ON THE OTHER HAND!!!! ughhh! You basically feel like a janitor! Not even joking, like some people like the porter shift because you don't have to deal with customers. I don't like it because its gross. Girls you see the nastiest things all the time like you see girl's period pads/tampons, the period smell, toilet paper all over the floor, you have to empty the restroom trash/period trash next to the toilet, mop the restroom floors, fill the soap/paper towels....it really sucks. I cringed when I had a porter shift. And you have to close off the restrooms before you started cleaning, but people would still walk in!!!! soo annoying...and you also have to roll around a big cleaning cart/mop around the theaters from restroom to restroom....real embarrassing...so glad I quit!
AND YOU STAY LATE!!!! Like literallly my shift would end at like 10PM and sometimes I would leave until 11:30PM-12AM...Oh and if you close/have a closing shift you won't leave until like 2AM-3AM!!! ughhhhh really sucks!!!!!!!!!!
