can somebody make a comfortable living working at a movie theatre?

I worked at the UA in the 90s. Cool job but no fair chances to move up back than. And the company was going down hill. What they need to do is tie the business into more options in the entertainment career. Offer vacation rotations for all team players.

I was adopted, luckily Born in the states, I know both of their names, DOBs and what they look like. I know I know she is Irish, Norwegian German, English & Swedish and he was German Czech. WITHOUT needing to do a DNA test.

Do you recommend working there at 15 years old?

I hid behind the screen and waited for them to close the theater for the night. Went up to the booth

Hey bro so like how do you get hired

Do you know how I can prepare for the pre assessment scenario test? I think I failed last time and want to apply again for amc

Thank you for sharing your time in AMC. As I'm looking for a job in AMC, I'm very excited to see new people

I currently work at AMC theatres in Edison, NJ. It's a dine-in theatre and it's very intense.

Made $25/hr in an office setting. I just can't do it anymore. I am fried. I interview for an asst. manager position at my local cinema in 2 days. Pay is $13-14/hour. Ouch, but looking to get something out of this job, more than money. Satisfaction is important.

Great video thanks

I applied for a job at AMC Theaters but have not heard back is there an email they have because I would love to work there?

I’ve been with amc since Oct. of 2022. I really enjoy being at my amc. Have a great GM, managers and supervisors. As for coworkers some of the best imo. Love working there made some great friends. Once we all got a day off from work to go to horror nights at 6 flags. Working at AMC has it pros and cons. *Cons you have to deal with a lot of rude upset and angry guest very frequently at my amc. The amc i work at is mainly for elderly and family people. But now we are getting a lot of homeless and teenagers now, unfortunately. *Pro have a great team from management to associates. Management will help out with box, ushering and concessions/backbar. Will try and find coverage for you when needed if not they find a way to make it work. I just love that about them. My personal worst experience was during Barbie and Oppenheimer. The entire amc was nearly sold out from opening to closing for about a month. One day the power went off bez someone crashed into a utility pole. That day really sucked guest were upset(obviously) we made announcements for every auditorium, we had multiple guest with threatening words. Our manager told us to let them know what guest acted like that. He went up to the guest and set them straight. When we walked out our manager told us “you guys shouldn’t have to deal with that bez you guys don’t get paid enough for that”. In conclusion working at amc is one of the best experiences of my life. I was a crew member now I’m a crew lead, I’m up for a supervisor role but unfortunately that will have to be at another theater they told me until one of my supervisor leave. Then I will be able to stay.

as of retaliation on me they made me usher on the busy days all by myself. one time aka last shift they assigned me concessions and had a write up. i literally argued with management after they denied me with coverage or any help to get through with my issues i had a family member in the hospital, i was dropped off to have them borrow my car, literally they cut me after i said i can’t go home after starting 2 hours, that flexible schedule crap is just what i said crap, they cut all the time, don’t work any. please avoid them all cost

I joined AMC in October of last year and just quit two days ago. It was the best thing I’ve ever done. I loved talking to guests about movies, as I was a film student ; but working at a flagship location in NYC gets hard. Guests lose their heads when they enter a theater and some have no respect. Some of the CL’s and other higher ups were okay but in total they lacked care from basic things such as checking emails. As well as promoting horrible people with nasty attitudes ; flat out saying they’re just going to porter around and not really work. The lack of hours as well was excruciating. Having one day a week and being paid $200 EVERY TWO WEEKS in NY is not livable. I appreciate the coworkers and the fun that I did have during the job. But corporate sucks, their software sucks, their “benefits” suck (part time, you don’t traditional benefits) and their system of mass hiring is the reason why their in the red as company. sorry for the rant.

You quit to make this video

As an AMC Classic worker, I believe I can say that AMC does not care at all about their classic locations at all. They'll just let them run down until it's eventually deemed necessary to shut them down.

Honestly, thanks for being honest

U cute

Interstellar has to be the most stunning looking film in cinematic history for it mainly not being CGI'd

I worked at Amc Theaters from July 2009-May 2010 it sucked honestly

As an investor in AMC Theatres, it troubles me that AMC wasn't able to retain someone like yourself. I'll try to reach out to corporate and see if any changes can be made, for future employees. @amctheatres Thank-you for sharing your story.

dude this was literally a mystical experience. Please keep editing and doing this sort of thing!! Your work is a service to humanity

Wish we were friends

I worked at AMC for one summer from may-august in 2021. I didn't hate it but I didn't love it enough to ever go back. The pay sucked especially for the hours, I worked F&B exclusively and would be there from before opening until concessions closed. Since I was over 18 I was not prioritized for breaks and because of how young my co-workers were I would almost never get one since someone over 16 had to be behind the bar at all times. I would also have to stay late to close even if I wasn't scheduled. My co-workers were nice and I genuinely enjoyed working with them but the GM got under my skin. Towards the end of my time there the oven that cooked the pretzel bites almost fell on top of me because it was placed on a rusted wheeled refrigerator instead of a proper surface. The impact was enough to completely crush the oven. I only got a scratch on my arm but I did not fill out any kind of employee injury form, I thought this was odd because I had filled out a few for some other minor cuts and burns that I got on the job. The only thing my GM said to be was "go get a broom" so I could clean up the mess that the oven made. This was 20 minutes before we opened and the oven fell in front of a register my 14 year old co-worker would have been working at that day. I understand accidents happen but I really feel that this was a preventable, if it had happened at any other time of day it could have gone way worse. Had the oven been placed on a proper table it wouldn't have happened at all. Obviously my experience isn't everyone's and my AMC could be an outlier but I don't think I will ever see the company in the same light again.

Did you need to bring any papers to show the person hiring you?

These stones were written by the people that planned the new world order and also the great reset. You will own nothing and be happy watch out people and wake up.

I want to work at an amc seems fun and chill but the thing is I don’t got one near me hope they make one where I am I want to work at one

Hello, I just start my first training jobs for 8hrs tomorrow and I just let’s my manager know to change my hrs time but I’m not sure if they can change it because I’m start training tomorrow afternoon plus my real schedule is this Friday for 4 days straight and I still want same different time of my hrs for 7hrs the rest of my schedule instead 8hr. Do you think they can change fast my schedule since tomorrow I start?

I worked for a theater, as large as AMC ...but not AMC. For the most part, I enjoyed my time working there. It was a part time/second job, and I worked in the box office for about 3 years. I enjoyed my job/coworkers, and for the most part we all had a love for movies in common - so we always had stuff to discuss. I'm sure different theaters have different policies, but most will allow you to see movies for free (and you may be allowed to bring others with you - this was originally my motivation - other than the extra spending money). I also appreciated that I could get extra hours whenever I wanted them, because I knew that the theater would be busy and they would not have enough staffing. I would go in during a busier time with my uniform in my hand and say, "Hey, i'm free, do you need me?" And they would always, desperately tell me to clock in and hurry. 😁 🤑 Ka-ching. Working in the box office, I think, is the best location. It's rare that you're ever asked to clean a bathroom, When your time is over it's over... No cleaning butter machines and no inventory. People are nice for the most part, and they just want to deal with you very quickly and they're gone. Not a lot of people get to work in the box office, because you have to be super reliable and really have a good head on your shoulders. In some theaters, the box office is a promotion. I was an adult with a full time job elsewhere.... thwy saw me as trustworthy and I was put straight in the box office. Since there's a big turnover in movie theaters, a lot of other people aren't known well enough to be considered reliable to the extent that you need to be in the box office. Box office needs to work fast, understand policies and promotions, keep up on enough info about the movies to knowingly answer questions....and of course have good enough math and computer skills to understand what your doing and spot mistakes quickly. Do we have to pay for mistakes out of our own money?... I never got to that point, but it was a threat. (One time they said I was $30 short - you weren't allowed to be more than the price of 1 ticket short.... I told them, "count again, I'm NOT short." It took that manager 3 times and then another manager came in to count... but I wasn't short. I nearly fell asleep waiting - until 2 am - but they finally counted correctly.) ---You need to be an honest person. You are quickly working with a good amount of money and are responsible for all of it. I have worked with a few who thought this would be a job where they could just slip money out of their own register. Dont try it! Box offices often have several cameras on EACH cashier (If they believe you're being dishonest, They will study those tapes over and over until they catch you...and they WILL). Those folks who decided to take money were not just fired but also arrested (the tapes will be used against you). So the bad parts of the job... the responsibility can be a bit stressful, The hours can be long, especially when you're waiting for a manager to finish all of their other work before they want to count to your register at the end of the night, Sometimes you'll get a fast talking customer and will think its a game to cheat you (like I say, you have to be able to think fast even when distracted). You have to accept that youll be needed for work when most people are out enjoying themselves.... But the last straw for me was being managed by teenagers. Some of them were very good and responsible... And others were just on an ego trip and liked to bully and and treat employees they didn't personally care for badly. A few would treat others badly when they were trying to impress their friends or a potential date. That unprofessionalism (which happens well more than it should) is hard to deal with, and eventually it was the reason why I left the job. Would I take a job at a theater again? Yes, I absolutely would.

I’m 14 and in Iowa and I like movies and clean things and it’s a dark environment and I want money tbh

I worked there for a month, I thought it was chill, but the managers are dicks

Most General Managers are Dicks Most bosses Suck reason why companies hirer them is to create a hostile anxiety filled environment low pay low morale in fighting favoritism creates the perfect divide and conquer in which you just work The worst are the employee who sell you out for their own convenience the worst

usher is sooooooooooooooooooo boring

AMC was one of my first jobs during my Sr. year of HS (13 years ago now) and it was def one of my favorites, at least at the start. I was also a film person and the free movies, early screenings, free friend ticket, and half price concessions were all amazing perks for me, and are great perks for any HS kid. I'm not sure it would be sustainable had I stuck with them through college though. Initially, the job was great. We had some great managers and supervisors, one of them had me fast tracked for a booth and supervisor position once I turned 18, but that year was when they replaced all the projectors with digital and it happened just before I was supposed to start training. The good manager (the guy who hired me) left the company shortly there after and the two new managers they hired were awful and played favorites. I was about to start as a supervisor but I got secret shoppered one of my last nights as crew. I jumped in to help concession and didn't upsell someone during the rush, and they were a secret shopper. I was supposed to be fired but instead I lost the supervisor promotion and took a writeup. They started messing with my hours and putting me exclusively in concession, which is where my love for the place began to slip. A few weeks after, the chick they promoted instead of me told me and two others that we got cut early bc it was slow, and so we left. Turns out, they got hit hard with a rush just before close and instead of fessing up to it, she told the closing manager that we must have left without checking out. All 3 of us got write ups for it. At this point, I was getting scheduled once per week, most of my friends had already quit, and management was horrible, so as soon as I got a new job, I quit without notice. It was a fun time for a while, made some good friends I kept in contact with for years after, and a lot of it I look fondly back on. My biggest regret is I never got to run booth. A great job if you're younger and don't have a lot of responsibilities, enjoy film, and like free movies. Def not a career tho.

I used to work at a theatre called CinemaStar. Made it to the supervisor position. Even though I somewhat loathed it, I must admit that I miss it...somewhat. The reason why I say this is that there are a number of areas where I could have been a better employee overall. However, some of the guests became my greatest lifelong friends! I, to this day, have no idea what I did for them. They were just such great people, in the end.

I just called for an interview i dunno if i wanna take it or not

Does anyone have any experience as someone whos recovering from an injury or who is disabled? I broke my foot 4 months ago and just got my walking boot off around 3 weeks ago. I can walk, but stairs are hard and my foot hurts after standing for more than an hour-two. Do you know if there are any possibilities for accomodations, such as a stool to sit at the counter or ticket checker area? I know this video was posted a while ago, but if anyone who has worked there could help out I'd greatly appreciate it!

Is it possible to work at AMC but not do concessions... I'm literally allergic to popcorn or something in it😭😭😭

AMC was a fun job when I worked there. I was a server at a dine in theater. I would get so stoned before doing my greets and taking orders. Good times.

At the moment I watched this Im currently working at AMC Theaters in my local area and when I noticed the part on the onboarding in-house training it said “diversity and inclusion” and that’s sending me a red flag about the business. Next red flag was the fact the GM mentioned Latinx (which for those who don’t know is offensive to Hispanic community and I know this because I never heard of it until 2022 and I worked with a lot of Hispanics at my other job and I asked them if they found it offensive). I’m already second guessing my job there and I have only just started.

So cool

I worked there from 2013-2019. 2 yrs crew, 3 sup, 2 manager. And the general manager is what makes it or breaks it. My first gm was really committed to the entertainment business, and my second gm just wanted everyone to kiss his ass. It’s a fun job coming out of hs or if youre in college. They expect you to have open availability 2/3 weekend days for the most part and the rest of the week is more open to flexibility. They really try to push you to sign people up for the membership. Before the company went public, you’d get your 8hrs and afterwards they try to “save” money at the cost of employees. So they’ll schedule you less than 7.5 hours so by law they don’t have to give you a break. Or they’ll overlap shifts in each department, so when the closer for the night comes in and the mid shift employee will get sent home depending on business levels. But you’ll meet some great people, I’m still friends with most of my hiring group from 2013 lol. I left due to not seeing eye to eye with the general manger.

"Finnish" and "Central Asian" is how western tests define some russian ethnicities living in Volga region or in South Siberia which this tests don't know. We have 193 ethnicities. They also usually define all russians by ethnicity like partly east european and baltic. You look like russian. May be one grandparent from Volga region and Ural.

Thank You soo much, I have an interview tomorrow in the morning and thankfully this gave me piece of mind...

I sent an application on saturday i’ll update with what happens 🤭

video was really helpful i got an interview today kinda nervous

Thanks for being honest about your time at AMC

I have to be honest I am still applying and I am taking the job I think the pay is different now

The pay suckś, that’s the biggest problem, even for “managers” at AMC the pay is not good. Plus the really cheaped out, even before the pandemic, canceling the nighttime cleaning crews and making employees clean up before they leave for the night. I definitely wouldn’t recommend anyone work there, other than a part time HS job but that’s it.
