Famous Players

What is the best part of working at the company?
Experiencing concession service and serving customers movie tickets, alcoholic beverages, and popcorn

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Gossip and nepotistic values introduced to me about "not liking," a specific employee, so they told me not to like them as well. High school behaviour, the enclosed and claustrophobic spaces inside the concession stand are not enjoyable to work around; other employees graze your behind while trying to work around you.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unfriendly and humiliating, another employee told me I'd done a terrible job, and then went back on it to say it was a joke. The plastic barricades the popcorn is popped inside is not cleanable, and they mocked that I "missed so many spots," every shift end.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and monotonous coffee talk about people and things that don't matter and distract from the job description.

A typical day for me at work would be going to my assigned unit where ever needed. I mainly work box office and pretzle maker but i am also trained at the concession, birthday parties and ushering. I learning and being trained in places that deal with cash (food &  box office) i learned to handle an ample amount of money with care. The management though some are annoying some if not most of the management team is tolerable. My co-workers there are just beyond amazing, this is the best part about my job. They keep me on my toes and give me a reason to go to work everyday. Though i have my ups at this job, some downs i get about the job are the complaints i get especially working box office. Working at box office you are responsible to know almost everything that happens in the theater from deals to pricing,  

There was no real management here and no one working there enjoyed it at all...certain people were Favorited and it was very easy to notice...especially when they would be doing what everyone else was getting in trouble for but they were okay because they were the favorites. There was no  manager there that was smart enough to do the job...one removed our food prep room for her personal office and we had to prep food at the concession with all the people just walking bye...poor choice by a manager in my opinion. There was nothing good about working here and many of my friends who worked there with me agree.

Typical day was to start working drawings by hand for renovation projects or new builds.

I learned how to detail millwork drawings, and speaker location drawings.

Management was very top heavy.

My coworkers varied from 5 to 12 to 2 to 1 while still having 5-6 managers.

I enjoyed all of my coworkers and some managers.

Hardest part of job, was being forced to do overtime when I had personal activities to attend to.

Most enjoyable part was Pioneer picnic golf tournament, and I hate golf.

The other cast members will openly talk bad about the managers to each other, the management team, 2/4, are very toxic and not understanding. There is also an imbalance in hours that are scheduled. Some will work an entire week while others will get one or two eight hour shifts which result in people swapping shifts constantly

The people I worked with made the job enjoyable. Management was horrible. The general manager ended up quitting out of nowhere without any notice and was rude and disrespectful. He showed favouritism amongst workers and yelled at ones he didn't like. Current general manager is better but she can be rude too. Nice only when you're on her good side.

was a great place to start working as i was younger. 
lots of chances for advancement.
Management was friendly and often worked on programs to encourage upselling as well as "team building trips/events"

This job has instilled very good values for the workplace in me, and allowed me to push myself further on the giving the guest the best experience possible.

Its the kind of job where mediocre gets promoted, its all internal relations before actual drive and work ethic.
Upper management will randomly cut hours then give them back, scheduling is incredibly sporadic. 

Start early. Punch in and find which postion to work.
Keep lobby and individual theatres clean.
Time management: Starting and ending times of the movies.
