LHM Megaplex Theatres

As a food court department leader at megaplex, I felt overworked, underappreciated, and underpaid for the amount of work I do. My concerns were never followed through with management despite my multiple efforts in trying to get their attention. One example is when I did not get a badge and keys to get through the doors in the 2.5 months I worked at this location and then I was expected to do everything I was asked of. How could I possibly do what I am asked of if I cannot get through the doors to get what I need and go where I am needed? I would also get scolded for not having a name tag, even though I was never given one. 
Management would constantly expect us to put our work life above our personal life. I was, on multiple occasions, given full time hours as a part-time employee. They assured me it would not happen again after the first time, yet they lied. These instances would leave me in a very awkward position as I was somehow responsible for either getting these shifts covered or just plain right attending them, which was not always feasible with my circumstances. After the third instance, I quit this job. 
You would think that after all these cons, our benefits would make up for it. You are mistaken. Despite how much money this establishment makes from its excessively overpriced food, us employees are not allowed free food. Yes, we do have an 80% discount during shifts ONLY, but I still did not understand why the management could not just treat their employees every once in a while. It's not like we were getting paid well either. We werent getting tipped either, despite how much we deserved it. 
Overall, I do not recommend this job. Especially for high schoolers as the long hours will leave you unable to attend school in an energized manner the next day.

Its fairly alright work, kind of boring on the slow days, stressful on the busiest. Co-workers were usually friendly to talk to, or just never talked at all. Some Department Leaders (DLs) sometimes have a broom up their butts and boss you around but usually are cool as well. The Manager is not that cool, they’re kind of cold and emotionless, very “just do your job, i dont care” type of aura. Customers/ Guests are average, some goodies- some baddies, usually are alright. Double-standards against common employees vs DLs but just kind of nit-picky, like the uniform requirements, commons have very strict rules, DLs are more loose. All you do is attend customers to what they want, clean the space, and if you have closing like I did then you have to clean around like crazy. The ice cream and shake toppings dont have labels so sometimes you need to ask a DL for which ones which. Benefits are nice though, 80% on shift food discount was the only thing I ate from there that wasn’t just popcorn. 2 free movie tickets per movie was cool too (although I find the “you can only get them 30 min before the showing” dumb). Sometimes you’ll get the smell of burnt popcorn stuck in your nose. BTW: Dole-Whip is pineapple soft-serve, when a customer asked for some, he tried to describe it in the worst way and I had to ask a DL what a “Dole-Whip” was. Also: I think the only reason my experience was better, was really just because I was friends with one of the DLs and gave me a bit more leeway.

I applied for the job because I knew some people that had worked here prior and it seemed as though they had a good acceptance rate (they did) and I had really needed a job at the time. The workers there, at least for the floor department, were all super chill people and I felt genuinely comfortable around them and there wasn't really any drama (publicly, at least) that occurred (which is a really high plus because admittedly the job I currently work at has a horrible, gossip-obsessed culture around its coworkers that I can't stand). As far as I'm aware I don't think I ever really got any tips, and the pay itself wasn't really that good to be honest, but as I mentioned before I hadn't really been paying that much attention to wages so it didn't really bother me that much at the time. The supervisors and management are all really chill people and you don't see much favoritism at all which is great, I was a little scared of them though because sometimes they had more of a strict or disapproving demeanor. The job itself can be really stressful and low-key kinda gross at times lol but that's kind of to be expected with any job. 

I thought working for Megaplex would be fun. As time went by, it was okay, but the hours was definitely not okay for a 17 year old to be working. My schedule mostly consisted of 5-closing shifts. I would leave work way past 12:30am. Eventually, I got promoted after 4 months to VIP. I got along well with most of my coworkers. I went on hiatus for school cause I was getting behind. I went to the movies a couple days before I returned to work and all my coworkers came up to me and started talking to me. There shouldn't be anything wrong with that. When I got back to work, my manager, Tamsen, called me into her office and she told me that I was written up for distracting team members while they were working. (Even though I was on hiatus.) But not having much job experience and only being 17, I accepted the write up and signed a paper. Before I got demoted, my department leader Braxton started harassing me and my coworker about an incident. Anyways, as soon as I was demoted, my managers sent me home and I never got to finish my shift. They favored certain people at that job and my manager even told me, that she's been wanting me demote me for a long time, but there wasn't any reason for it until that moment. She knew she would get in trouble if she demoted me without a valid reason. Also, the starting pay was absolutely dumb. $7.75/hour?! Pathetic. But the only good benefits that came out of that job was free movie tickets and 40% discount on food. Worst job ever

You want to know what this place, it's not a good place to work. You go to work and its the same thing over and over every time you work. I mean somedays you have rushes others you don't so it varies. But as in a place to go and work it's alright for you first time I don't recommend going to Concessions GO TO FLOOR. I REPEAT GO TO FLOOR. Unless you want angry guest complaining to you about how we don't take cash. The rushes that can last hours with you being the only one in the stand because they send everyone else on break. The management doesn't care about you at all. Then when it comes to getting days off you might put a request in but still might not get them off. For holidays you have to work  for them all and can't get them even off. When you get their you could have the best people to work with or the worst and once its time for you to go; you will most likely have to stay longer due to the fact you are slow at cleaning. Because you can't preclose fast enough or because nobody else would even help you to begin with. Summary overall don't work here unless you want to suffer with people not showing up for shifts you being stuck in a rush by yourself having to clean a whole stand by yourself. If all things go to FLOOR it might be better I worked in FOOD COURT and CONCESSIONS.

I worked here for about 1.5 years when I was 16-17.  After 1 year I was supposed to get a raise.  I had an evaluation and signed papers, but never received the raise.  When I left a few months later, they said they would send me a check for the difference of the raise I never received and I never even got that.  
Working during big movies, such as Star Wars, was hectic and stressful.  Customers were almost always rude if there was any problem (like running out of something or even the prices of items).  
I enjoyed working with my fellow team members, especially the ones I trained with, but after they all left, there wasn't much of a reason to stay.  
They didn't follow my preferred hours very well, even though I had a doctor's note saying I couldn't work past 9 on school nights.  I worked until 1 AM a few times. I was doing badly in school so I quit before the last half of my senior year.  
It's also a very big company, so it's hard to communicate with all of the management. 
I just wouldn't recommend to people in school, but others were fine with it.
(This was a few years ago, so some things could be different now)

Depending on the day of the week, it is either extremely busy or super slow. Guests (customers) come in rushes, typically ten minutes before their movie, and guests will get angry when their large orders amongst the sea of other orders take a little longer to get out. Also equipment constantly breaks and you just have to deal with it. The policy is "The guest is best" and any violation will get you written up, including saying that a guest's food got cold during their movie (guess how I know). 

In the year that I've worked our already meager benefits have been reduced without pay increase to compensate. They treat you like a child during disciplinary talks, writing you up for small infractions without gathering or including evidence of how/where you messed up; this evidence would be necessary to know exactly how to improve or to be able to defend one's self.

Don't work here if you get stressed easily.

Working at megaplex was similar to being in highschool. If you're working alongside teens and even your department heads are in their mid teens then you're going to see some favoritism. Even the 40 year old manager showed favoritism to the ones who did not pick up their slack. The quiet ones who don't have a ton of charm are often left doing more chores and taking their breaks much later.
The schedule is never constant so it's extremely difficult to plan for anything and they even scheduled me when I had already stated in my interview that I could not work those days.
The management seems to not care very much about new workers, which makes sense since they seem to come and go so quickly. Also I was severely under-trained and was sent to do tasks that I did not know how to do. (Tasks that involved chemicals that I had not learned about.. Seems dangerous.)
This job is not worth it, obviously its a starter job but if you're trying to work here while doing schoolwork then you're going to have a stressful time.

It’s a fun first job and if You are in high school it’s perfect, love working here. My only issue is DL’s are too young to have their position they show favoritism and if they don’t like you, they will make you do more work than others, food court team members are outrageous. I had a team member say something so loud that a guest heard and they blamed it on the other team worker that had already left the building. The guest proceeded to agree with what the team member had said so when they got their popcorn, they said it’s OK. We’ll blame it on said team member. already clocked off and left the building an hour before that happened. overall it’s a good job depending on the person, but for my opinion, it’s perfect for people who wanna just have a job in high school

This job teaches you a lot about putting the guest first and making every guest leave satisfied. I've learned all of my work values and morals from this job. Everyone at the Sunset location is amazing and very kind and inclusive. You will definitely become friends with co-workers and have a good time while at work. There are a few people that seem a little clique-y but it's not too bad. There are always company parties and movie screenings. The GM cares about every single employee exactly the same. The only bad thing is the pay which now starts at $9, but there is a 25 cent raise every six months you are there which can really add up. There is also a lot of opportunities for advancement which is really nice. Overall, a really great place to work if you don't have too much financial responsibility.
