Pros

You get paid. The job is easy and the hours are flexible. You can see free movies. Generally work with good people.

Cons

You don't get paid much. It's a customer service job, so you have to deal with a lot of short tempered people and children.

Pros

Free movies anytime, plus, extra free tickets weekly for friends and family.

Cons

The management is ridiculous. Most of the managers are in their early 20's and seem to think that being one of 7 part time managers at a movie theater gives them power over people. Most of them don't really know, or don't care about, the law, in regards to labor, as it is regularly broken. They routinely impose skipped/late lunches and breaks, and clock you in and out so that there isn't a paper trail. Aside from the management, a large portion of the employees hired are entirely incompetent. Because most people are simply there for a summer, or a school break, etc. they don't feel any responsibility to maintain any kind of professional demeanor, (some even sell drugs at work), and as such, it can be an awful place to work for those that are professional. The worst part about working here, however, is that the managers are actively encouraged to befriend you on social media, and if you say anything that might be considered negative about your work experience, you are punished with fewer hours, or, sometimes, loss of whole weeks. Also, working only 15-20 hours a week is absurd, especially when they actively discourage having multiple jobs.

Pros

Great amenities, free movies, free popcorn and soda. A perfect high school, first time job! At times we were even paid to screen movies.

Cons

The job can get pretty dirty. And we did not get new shirts that often which is unfortunate due to the filth we had to clean up sometimes.
