Pros
Lots of development training, and workshops all company paid for. Food protection, Fireguard, Motion picture operators license, CPR, etc. You are given skills that you can take to use at another employer (Budgeting, promotions, Fund raising, etc.)
Cons
Each general Manager has their own methods to get their job done. Some use an iron fist, others a laid back approach, and others a respectful middle ground. Entry level employees are inundated with so much information about rights/responsibilities, that they lose track about what is.isn't allowed. When business is slow, the hours go, go, go away. some theaters close down for as much as 2 weeks in between features, and leave the entry level employees to work 1 shift a week.
