Pros

Free movie passes, cheap lunch meals for break, friendly and welcoming atmosphere with new employees, challenging but good job to those new to work environment, flexible hours, easy to take off days as student or work for summer then leave for college, excellent starter job especially for someone looking for pocket money,

Cons

Terrible management, obvious favoritism from management, promotion is based off availability not actual ability, employee of the month is a joke amongst employees, employees are mostly young and immature (expected though for minimum wage), write-ups are not enforced correctly and are randomly distributed for whenever a manager feels like it (rumored there is set maximum amount but managers do not know about enforcing it when questioned and are unaware of policies), management is mismanaged, stressful and loud environment (basic movie theater environment), shifts are usually long with one given 30 minute break every few hours (ish), working on your feet the entire shift

"OK" place to work at.

Pros

The pay is pretty nice for teenagers or someone who's just looking for extra money. The free soda, popcorn, and movies we get are pretty cool. It's also a very nice place to meet new people and interact with everyone. BUT BEWARE, some people just aren't as friendly as you want them to be.

Cons

The managers can there nice and mean days. However, a NICE majority of them kind of talk down to their employees, simply because their position is higher than them. I can't even count on one hand how many times these managers have gotten 'slick' or 'rude' with an employee for something SO SMALL. For example, one of my coworkers had waste ice all over the floor (accidentally) in the back room, one of my managers practically humiliated him in front of other co-workers by saying, "Next time, try to get the ice into the buckets, THE BUCKETS!". The co-worker just looked so distraught, so he just ignored it and continued working. ANOTHER example, the managers NEVER give the employees time to greet the customers coming in. The customers could've stepped an inch inside the building and they would've yelled "OMG, AREN'T YOU GOING TO GREET THEM?!", it used to irritate me so bad till I had to go into the back room to gather my thoughts. So, if your going to get a job here, here's the #1 rule: DO NOT LET THEM TREAT YOU ANY KIND OF WAY. If they are rude to you ONCE, CHECK THEM and put a stop to it. If you let it slide even ONE TIME they'll think they can walk all over you. Honestly, the only problem with this company is the managers, everything else is AMAZING. However, there is ONE amazing manager in this facility, and I won't name them for confidential reasons.
