Flexible work hours, full time once you go up to management, health benefits, 401K, you get to watch free movies all the time. Overall it's a fun environment to work in.

Cons

Job advancement is difficult and pay isn't all that great. Raises are very limited and given rarely.

Free Movies Great Co-Workers Fun atmosphere Advancement opportunities

Cons

The higher volume of the theatre the later you will leave at night No overtime High volume theatres pay as much as low volume theatres more work for the same pay Non accommodating if you have to change locations for whatever reason unless it means going to a more busy location or moving into a higher position they will not let you go Unless you are around a major city prepare to make only a few dollars more than the crew as a manager

Great people. Terrible pay.

Pros

It is a great place to work while in school because the managers are really good about working around your availability. The majority of the managers and supervisors were really nice, and easy to bond with while still remaining professional. Whenever we got slammed and needed extra help they would always come and help us out. The managers are pretty good about giving you time off, unless it is during the holidays. Free movies for yourself, as well as your immediate family is a big plus.

Cons

There aren't a lot of opportunities for advancement. If you are a crew member you will be stuck at a crew member level. There aren't many supervisor positions and it is very political when it comes to promoting/hiring a new supervisor. I worked here for 7 years and never got a holiday off. Every year near the holidays the managers send everyone a form to rate their holiday preferences in order of least important to most important. I submitted this form every year, but still never got any of the holidays off. The pay is terrible. I started at minimum wage, and got excellent reviews when they were conducted. Unfortunately, an excellent review only gets you a ten cent raise.
