You received minimum wage there but the benefits included with the job were free movies and a free stubs account which would accumulate rewards.
What I wish was different
I wish that the scheduling had been a little more uniformed.
Advice
It's a fun job where you get to work so many different tasks each shift and it broadens your range of abilities.

All of my fellow employees and managers were easy to work with and helpful. I also experienced plenty of flexibility with scheduling.

Work sometimes wouldn’t be over till midnight or later. I would’ve preferred working a few more daytime shifts.

Although the job was fine, I feel it didn’t give me much career experience. In the future I’ll be pursuing an internship in a filled I’m interested in.

What I liked
The staff were super friendly made some great connections and I loved getting free movie tickets. I am a big movie fan so being able to watch all the films in theaters was like a dream come true their benefits are great.
What I wish was different
Anything that I didn't care for were things that couldn't be helped or changed such as customers attitudes and maybe the cleaning at the end of the night. There were no janitors that came in and cleaned it was just the staff.
Advice
I would say even if you get rude customers who are upset for things out of your control you must remain calm and friendly no matter what. The nicer you are the harder it is for them to continue to be rude or upset it just makes them look bad. And being friendly and smiling when dealing with customers goes a long way.

What I liked
Everyone was super nice and very willing to assist me when I had questions. I feel like I was given import work (some of it went to the CEO/CFO) that I gained a learning experience from.
What I wish was different
Because I had just switched majors, I didn’t feel I was very prepared for the position once I started completing work.
Advice
Be confident but also ask questions! At the end of internship I got an evaluation and they thought I did great, but that I needed more confidence in my work.

What I wish was different
I wish I was paid more but it was good enough for a small summer job.

Having a summer job instead of sitting around and doing nothing is a great use of your time and it’s nice having money to go out.

What I liked
Easy to speak to staff and managers
What I wish was different
The culture, individual people were great but when dealing with issues with guests, its intimidating to ask for help at times.
Advice
The stuff you have to deal with is not worth the pay and tips, being a server at one of the biggest theaters in the nation is extremely harder than being a server at a sit-down restaurant.
