Pros

You get half off at the concession and depending on the film, you get free tickets on your day off. You also build bonds with people and the company's associates are almost as a family. They also work with your school schedule, so that was always a plus!

Cons

If you enjoy being away from your family almost certainly on every holiday you can think of, apply. If you like getting yelled at for making a simple mistake, apply. Some customers expect you to bend over backwards to meet their needs and management expects you to do as they ask. It was almost as if they went by the saying "we shall never deny a guest even with the most ridiculous request." It's almost impossible to move up unless you brown nose the management team, so expect favoritism when working there. They don't raise your pay at all (unless you become a supervisor) and they don't do holiday pay. Management look for what you did wrong and often times scold you for that and rarely praise you when you do something right.

Great student job, not so great for anyone else.

Pros

Excellent and flexible scheduling, great coworkers, work is fast-paced and actually pretty fun. You will get a wide range of customer service experience, so once you've worked here, very little will surprise you at your future jobs. Management and the company are always willing to teach you new things and expand your work experience.

Cons

No raises. Period. That was ok prior to the recession when mostly students worked here, but now there are lots of folks who have their degrees and have worked here 2-5 years or more and pretty much have nothing to show for it. It's also a disreputable job - despite the fact that you will learn a lot and get tons of valuable experience, you'll have a hard time convincing other potential employers that your movie theater job was so valuable. Management is also very inconsistent.
