Pros

In general, it is a fun and interesting place to work. It all depends on who works at your particular location. If you end up with irresponsible staff, motivating them will be near impossible. If you end up with irresponsible management, it makes caring about your work near impossible, and the effort required foor any kind of positive achievement not worth it. If you have a boss or bosses that are willing to support you and help you achieve, as well as help you deal with corporate level management in a productive way, you will not be unhappy.

Cons

The pay is not great. Unless you plan for this to be your career, there isn't much opportunity for advancement. You have to be patient and you can't let yourself get frustrated waiting for that promotion. Relocation is sometimes necessary. Communication between corporate and on-site management is sketchy at best. Corporate management creates goals that are sometimes unrealistic because they seem to be out of touch with the day-to-day operation. Again, if you are lucky enough to have corporate contacts that are eager to hear your input and help you, things will go much smoother. Sometimes your questions to the higher-ups get ignored instead of answered.

Pros

Easy, mindless, minimum wage job. Good experience if this is your first job, you learn you don't want to do this for the rest of your life. I learned about all the illegal activity companies have to deal with: stealing, co-worker sexual relationships, drugs at work, keeping the smallest employee out of the "know" of things. While these may sound like negative things, I think this a good reason to work for Regal. You learn you don't want to do this again.

Cons

No variation of work. Clueless assistant managers who didn't complete high school are telling you what to do. Several assistant managers had a affairs with other employees (to a degree where most people know). Constant employee turn around, I believe I worked four times as long as a typical employee. I worked for approximately 1 year. As result of all these negative attributes, the morale of the work place was horrible. Why should I have to work hard if most people weren't working half as hard as me? I noticed the theatre was showing its age because most people did not clean as well as they should.
