Pros

Free movies daily. Free popcorn/drinks when working/on breaks. Discounts on food at other times. Somewhat flexible schedules during the week. Business arrives in "sets," so there are busy hours with downtime between. Slower, more streamlined business in off-peak season (fall/winter/spring). Easy to request time off. Fun for a first job. Good for students, younger staff, and good for people who want part time.

Cons

No benefits unless you are full-time management. Uniform is very strict. No visible body art, and no unnaturally colored hair. No piercings. Pay hours are available based on business levels (amount of people buying tickets), so it is very possible to be sent home early for your shift if it is not busy. It happens more often than you think. Weekends and evenings are most likely dedicated to work. Depending on location, can leave work as late as 3am. Raises are given different at review, depending on management. No consistency between any upper management, district, or GM. Sometimes communication gets lost on many things. Employees who are not qualified or deserve it get promoted often.

Pros

The initial role offers good experience in sales and customer service, but the benefits are overshadowed by internal management failures.

Cons

The primary issue lies in the disconnect between local management and corporate HR, specifically regarding off-boarding and payroll accuracy. I submitted a formal two-week notice which was reportedly never filed by my manager. This resulted in an "ineligible for rehire" status despite my following all proper protocols. Furthermore, communication from Corporate is inconsistent and contradictory. I was told both that my notice was received but my two weeks were incomplete, and then later told that no notice was submitted at all. Even with physical proof of attendance (after a manager failed to adjust a manual clock-in as promised) and proof of the submitted notice, Corporate refused to correct the record.
