Pros

Super flexible with your schedule! It's a good summer and job for high school kids. The free movie tickets are also a great benefit.

Cons

The pay isn't very high, depending on the time of year you either suddenly are always expected to be there or are never scheduled at all. It's very hard to move up in the company/

Pros

I know this is cliche to say, but I worked with great people. Most everyone was hardworking (a few high schoolers were an exception), however this made working more fun and enjoyable overall. That, and the pay, which was minimum wage was nice. It could have been better.

Cons

-The upper managers at the local store get upset/frustrated really easily. However, I do not place full blame on them. The stress coming from corporate/regional offices pressure them to squeeze every penny out of each customer. This is accomplished by: generally distrusting employees (especially with cash), making few-to-very-little exceptions to customer complaints, and keeping a very close eye/short leash on most-if-not-all employees. This ensures that customers are charged the highest prices, no unnecessary discounts are given, and that employees don't make mistakes that lead to lower revenue. -Minimum wage. No if's, and's, or's, or but's. Unless of course you are a manager/special situation. Raises are few and far between. You must work there for somewhat of a long time (1+ years to usually be even considered for a decent raise, and if you get it, it'll be mediocre, like 1.5% which equates to roughly $.11 for minimum wage, I believe). The only way you can get compensated decently is through becoming a lower manager (roughly $9/hour) or by being incredibly reliable so they are forced to pay you more in order to stay and not leave the job. -Upset customers from"unfair prices." As unfair as they were, people did not have to buy concessions. Nor were they complaining to the right people. Floor Staff/Concessionists were merely messengers. The high costs are there because Regal makes very little on the tickets (~10%) therefore they must make their money on concessions. I hate to say bad things about the local management since I know the pressure from corporate/regional offices is overpowering, but I felt this should be vocalized. No hard feelings.

Upper management don't care a lick about their employees. They treat us all like robots. No flexibility in schedule They require you to put Regal first in your life, even if you only work one day a week
