Pros

Free movies and discounted concessions

Cons

At least at the location I was at the major majority of management did the bare minimum while expecting other employees to go above and beyond. If you were good at your job, they would work you into the ground and if you were not competent, they had no interest in interacting with you. Manager favoritism was very present at the time I was working there, favored employees would get certain holidays off or better shifts/hours while people who were not the favorites would get the poor treatment and be singled out. Management also had inappropriate relationships with each other and anyone who questioned it or brought it up in any aspect would have their job threatened. Stock and inventory was not well organized, and the system would constantly change in confusing and inefficient ways. Management would also manipulate numbers so they could take certain items of inventory for themselves and the favored employees.

Pros

-Wonderful teams at the floor staff level (depending on hiring.) -If you like movies the benefits of discounted food and tickets is nice. -A workaholic’s dream.

Cons

-Aggressive and uncaring management above the individual building level. -Extremely variable schedule and work load. -Loss of weekends. -Unprofessional work environments (at the building management level.) -Tendency to lean heavily into favoritism and industry established individuals rather than promoting from within (many building managers come from chains outside of Regal.) -Building managers are generally left with little help or effective guidance from district managers. -Expectations for quality are high while payroll hours to meet those expectations are low. -Very few opportunities for advancement due to positional restrictions at the building management level (especially if you are younger than 21 @ locations with bars.) -HR is very inconsistent and slow. -Low pay vs competitors, including similar positions in other industries.
