Pros

Free films, discount, good staff to work alongside (at my particular site) Different aspects to different ops manager roles so days are quite varied. Career opportunities if you're willing to relocate. Lots of different areas and skills you can learn.

Cons

Shift work - sometimes until 2/3am at my site. Head office communication is pretty awful, and they can make it difficult to get the ball rolling on simple things. Lack of support when trying to reward staff - one of the worst aspects was being told we had to recruit new staff then being reduced to minimum hours week. This was awful as team members assume this comes from site management and not HO. During a visit from a regional manager a folder was physically thrown across a desk in my direction - in front of team members. Then during a presentation we were asked to prepare he sat on his phone. This first meeting is what has meant I no longer have any interest in pursuing a career with cineworld. Anything for profit type company. Setting targets for us to raise money for charity - surely a good thing? The targets are high and we are constantly put under pressure to meet this as well as our company targets. I agree with raising money but not the pressure we are under and the feeling we will be punished if we do not reach it.
