Pros

You get to watch as many movies as you want, for free - and you get to bring a friend along with you. The workers themselves are mostly teens and are all pretty chill, so the work environment can be pretty fun. You sometimes get to take what's left of the popcorn home with you in a huge trash bag. If you work hard, you'll get the chance to move up the ranks. I took on 3 different positions while working there for only 7 months.

Cons

You've got to stay on your feet, or, as in my case, you'll get chewed out in an instant. The managers were absolute beasts who didn't seem to have a sense of humor, or even a personality at that. They were the reason I quit, sadly enough. Pay is minimum wage, as you'd expect. Tough work for cheap pay, but then again, you've got plenty of others willing to replace you. You do spend some very late nights doing repetitive procedures, in the way of cleaning after the last showing. With midnight showings, expect to be sticking around till 3 in the morning.

Pros

-Great people to work with! -Job is pretty easy. -Good opportunity for advancement. -Free movies, popcorn, soda, and 50% discount on concessions during breaks.

Cons

-The pay is low. Minimum wage (at my theater) is $7.25 for floor staff employees and $9.00 for a assistant management position. -The hours are pretty bad during the school year. -Rude/cranky customers.

The Real Cinemark

Pros

If you are in desperate need of employment and have absolutely no other choice for income, then apply. A paycheck

Cons

They promote free movies for employees, but the restrictions are ridiculous. Immediate family only, and you can only use two per day. One for you and one for them. If you are working only one may come. It is insane..... Discount on products only if you are working, NOT when you come in to see a movie.
