Pros

It's fun! The company has excellent communication skills and the pay raises are more frequent than anywhere I've ever worked.

Cons

The majority of the staff was age 16-18 and it, at times, felt a little more like babysitting than managing. My manager wanted to be friends with everyone and when something didn't go her way, she acted incredibly unprofessional. As an assistant manager, there were no benefits until you passed a series of 16-20 tests and that's only if you have been there long enough and worked hard enough to be considered. As an assistant manager, closing and opening the theater was a major part of the position and we were required to work late and alone in the building. I was concerned about safety for myself working in a (possibly) empty theater alone at 2am. There were many instances where people would hide after the last showing to rob the theater once everyone was gone. It was unsafe.
