Ok to follow up my other thread about me not being able to get a job, I got a call back from the AMC movie theater.
Anybody worked at the movies before? How's it like?

However, if you're working in concession, which is what I usually did, you're working with money and you're dealing with people nonstop, not to mention you're under much more supervision, so it's usually not much fun.
One thing I really hate about the movie theater job is that the hours SUCK. If you're working an evening/closing shift, you're usually stuck there until midnight (at least with my experiences), so you can pretty much kiss the rest of your night goodbye. Other than that, I'd say that it's a pretty easy job - really laid back. If you work with cool people, it can be a good experience.
Then again, my experience was at the less popular theater in my town. The theater at the mall which gets all the popular movies (the theater I was at usually gets the artsy and somewhat less popular films) I heard is like the worst job ever. Like I said before, you'll either love the job or you'll hate the job. If you have any more questions, let me know.
Thats pretty much it. I hated my job with a passion!!! God i wanted to burn down Showcase cinemas.Originally Posted by Gettin It Crackin
