Pros

Loved working here! I felt like everyone was a big family. Everyone knew everyone, the atmosphere was very friendly. Enjoyed the fact that the employees were given radios as well as all the managers and supervisors so if needed to get ahold of a certain person it was easy to find them. Loved being able to see movies for free. For the most part the management were working well with my schedule. During my interview they asked me If I had to choose one day to not work during the week I said Tuesdays, and since the day I was hired to the day I left (6 months) I had not worked a single Tuesday during the entire employment. If I could I would reapply for this job in a heartbeat! Working at cinetopia will always be an amazing experience that I will never forget.

Cons

There were a lot of managers and supervisors that sometimes the word got lost amongst them, there seemed to be a lack of communication between them. Breaks could be a little more scheduled, very few times I didn't get a break because they either forgot or there were not enough staff working that shift to cover my position.

Pros

Some great coworkers, free movies, great complex

Cons

There are almost too many to list. I'd say the most glaring is the CEO/founder. He doesn't know what the hell he is doing as head of the company. The place is basically the Titanic heading toward inevitable doom with him at the helm plugging his ears to customer complaints and touting his TOTAL B.S. "Cinetopia is the new face of movie service" (yeah, the review with this title is one he wrote - it's a dead giveaway because he misspells or misses punctuation in everything he writes AND he's been known to try and mitigate bad reviews with his own and those he recruits of his executive staff...I've seen it happen before and it's completely unprofessional and immoral). I witnessed apathetic staff in all positions in both the theater and the WAY overpriced Vinotopia restaurant. In turn, this affected customers daily and I saw so many of them unhappy and complaining about their experience - rightfully so - with little to no action by the management. The sad thing is, this place actually has potential with the right people running it and doing a little creative rebranding and cleaning up operations on all levels. Cinetopia is, at this point, waaaay off the mark of being an "upscale dinner and movie experience" as the management is forced to say under the watchful eye of Rudyard - and any self-branding of the company as a high-end movie and dinner experience couldn't be further from the truth.
