Pros

-Free movie passes (26 twice a year)

Cons

Corporate leadership has created what often feels like a toxic work environment. Long-term dedication to the company does not appear to be valued, as employees with decades of service can be dismissed very quickly. There are also concerns about leadership behavior within the F&B department. One leader has developed a reputation for bullying staff. When employees push back, the situation is sometimes reframed in a way that places blame on those actually doing the work. There have also been instances where credit for team accomplishments appears to be taken by leadership, while the people responsible for the work are removed from projects once they are completed. Additionally, communication and accountability from leadership can be inconsistent. Employees may be told one thing privately but then be publicly criticized in meetings, which creates confusion and undermines trust. Unfortunately, this pattern of leadership behavior seems to extend beyond a single department and appears to be present across several areas of the corporate office.

Pros

Strong teamwork, hands on training, and supportive coworkers. You get to learn every role, and jobs rotate weekly between box office, podium, usher, and concession. This variety keeps the work engaging and helps you build versatile skills.

Cons

I honestly had no negative experiences during my time here.
