Pros

Free films (in own cinema for first 3 months and then a cinepass which allows you and one other in any cinema) That is literally all.

Cons

- Zero hour contracts- you will be told on interview/hiring that some are part time and some are full time and that it’s only zero hour for legal reasons and it’ll never be less than 30hours a week- quite simply NOT TRUE! Hours depend on how busy the cinema is so not enough hours ever for a full time job - Rotas are released with 3 days notice and no more - Awful staff are kept on which means staff who know how to do their job have to pick up the slack - closing shifts will usually finish between 12-1am but can be as late as 3 during busy periods (in interview you will be told 12am is the latest you’ll finish) - you’re basically a glorified cleaner -there is clear favouritism amongst management and team leaders - when booking holiday you’ll always be persuaded to just have those days as days off instead (so the company don’t have to pay you) -the needs of the business are put before the needs of the staff, emotional and physical well-being is not important
