Pros

I used to love this job. The staff keeps me sane now.

Cons

- No part time management positions at my location - New pay caps enforced - Restructuring of Management: This has led me to essentially be laid off by the company I have been loyal to for 8 years. Since our location is essentially dividing management in half and then half again, I can only be a team lead... and if I do, I have to be full-time. As a full-time college student, this is pretty much impossible. So my only option? Go to floor staff and make a cap of $9.50. Seriously? I also think it is very sad that there are still part-time positions available out there, but it has only been communicated that at our location all of these positions (team lead, associate manager) must be full time. Why isn't the company providing those of us getting demoted with internal job boards for team leads, part time positions that will potentially at other locations so that we can browse around? Wait, they'd rather just pay me $9.50. I should have known when Regal acquired our theater that it would all be going downhill from there. They didn't even give us a new manager's bonus for clothing even though some of us had been wearing a uniform provided by our old ownership for years. We were expected to spend our own money on a uniform when a person could come in the next day and get their bonus. Cineworld, you have made me hate everything about the movie industry. Why did I even work the holidays this year just to lose my job? Gosh, you've ruined the employee morale at my location. All anyone does anymore is sit around and pick their thumbs. Thanks for viewing us as numbers and not people.

Relaxed a lot of the time.

Cons

Don't like one manager. Sometimes ask too much. Can't sit when on door but that's retail.
