Cons
- minimum wage - Management either cares too much or not at all - Scheduling only a week in advance - Never a free weekend - The place is staffed with teenagers, and sometimes they act like it. - At least at my Regal, the management would disapear for long periods of time upstaris when they should have been on the floor Cons by Job: Ushering: - stressful when really busy and understaffed - Sometimes people get away with being lazy when ushering because of lack of management Box Office: - You cannot leave the cubicle unless there is someone to cover for you - Stressful when busy - Pushing Regal Cards to everyone gets taxing when doing it for hours - People become angry when a movie is sold out and sometimes take it out on you Concessions: - Gets extremely busy on weekends and it is easily the most stressful job in the building - People complain about the prices all the time - Constant upsizing and candy pushing is annoying Door: - Boring - No one to talk to except for brief encounters with customers
