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.

Pros

The initial role offers good experience in sales and customer service, but the benefits are overshadowed by internal management failures.

Cons

The primary issue lies in the disconnect between local management and corporate HR, specifically regarding off-boarding and payroll accuracy. I submitted a formal two-week notice which was reportedly never filed by my manager. This resulted in an "ineligible for rehire" status despite my following all proper protocols. Furthermore, communication from Corporate is inconsistent and contradictory. I was told both that my notice was received but my two weeks were incomplete, and then later told that no notice was submitted at all. Even with physical proof of attendance (after a manager failed to adjust a manual clock-in as promised) and proof of the submitted notice, Corporate refused to correct the record.
