Pros

Flexible working Like-minded, friendly staff Free cinema tickets

Cons

The work environment at each cinema can be very different depending on the management, which can range from friendly to highly toxic. Cineworld are pushing more and more procedure and restrictive rules on staff, the culture shift since Cineworld took over Picturehouse has not been beneficial, even if it has meant more expansion for the company. The company promote themselves as being one of the most generous employers in the industry, but that is generally judging themselves against some low standards. Sadly not forward-thinking when it comes to employee relations. If you can look further Curzon and some of the independent cinemas are offering better pay and most likely less of a corporate climate.
