Pros
- Free movie tickets for you and one guest - Free popcorn and drinks while on the clock, discounted food/candy at all REG locations - Floor staff at most locations tend to be friendly, college/high school teens. - Relative ease of advancement (I was promoted to Senior Cast Member within a year of hiring)
Cons
- Constant scheduling conflicts, schedule changes every single week - Floor staff will always start at minimum wage and increase approximately 20 cents a year. - Due to insurance reform laws, all non-manager employees are part time and cannot work over 25 hours a week - Managers are typically just the employees who have been there the longest - Promotion to Senior Cast Member does not come with a pay raise - Needs of non-concession floor staff are ignored, sidelined to support concessionists - Most employees can expect to work every Friday and Saturday evening - Only receive holiday pay for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter. - Must work holidays - Employees over the age of 18 can often expect to work until 2:00 AM and return by 11:00 AM the next day.
