Pros

Free movies and 50% off concessions. Regal used to be a very good place to work.

Cons

Regal has been going downhill ever since being sold to Cineworld. They have recently GUTTED the best benefit of working here. Used to be 2 or 4 movie passes a day for free, now its 2 or 4 a week (2 for part time workers, 4 for full time). Got some news today about some change ups in the way things will be managed and I have decided that Cineworld is not interested in making their employees feel wanted or welcome in the industry. They have introduced salary caps because they do not want people to get "comfortable" working here. They do not care about loyalty or about being a great place to work. They are only interested in making decisions at corporate that will most likely fail to produce noticeable changes when put into practice in the real world and have no answers to any serious questions that have been raised. There will be hundreds of employees being forced out or forced to take demotions due to recent decisions made by out-of-touch upper management.

Pros

The initial role offers good experience in sales and customer service, but the benefits are overshadowed by internal management failures.

Cons

The primary issue lies in the disconnect between local management and corporate HR, specifically regarding off-boarding and payroll accuracy. I submitted a formal two-week notice which was reportedly never filed by my manager. This resulted in an "ineligible for rehire" status despite my following all proper protocols. Furthermore, communication from Corporate is inconsistent and contradictory. I was told both that my notice was received but my two weeks were incomplete, and then later told that no notice was submitted at all. Even with physical proof of attendance (after a manager failed to adjust a manual clock-in as promised) and proof of the submitted notice, Corporate refused to correct the record.
