Pros

Besides the obvious of free movies, the best reason to work here is if your a student. Due to the hours of operation it is easy to work around any school schedule whether it be high school or college. It is a great place to learn customer service skills and get your foot into a managerial role, but thats where the pro's stop.

Cons

The biggest con is the extremly low pay for the amount of work done and the hours put in. Some how AMC has found a way to not give its managers overtime by classifing itself as part of the "entertainment industry" in the state of GA. On a weekly schedule when you can not leave until all the customers have left the building its guranteed that you will work more then 40 hours a week with no overtime pay. Evaluations come twice a year with a pay raise only once a year. Since movie theatres are open 365 days a year working holidays is mandatory. Holiday pay is given, however, its not even time and a half. Just an extra $5 an hour. The work schedule can be anything between 7am to 3am everyday of the week. Vacation time is acquired based off of how many hours you work. If you have been with the company for less then 5 years then you acrew vacation time at the rate of 1 vacation hour for every 50 hours worked. Once you have enough time acrewed you then have to look at a film release schedule to see when you can actually take a vacation. As an hourly manager you can forget about possibly getting a vacation during the months of May, June or July.
