Naturally it varies location to location, but in general your coworkers are always fantastic, however management often has little care, and the higher ups don’t care about the regular employees at all. Hours recently have been cut back so far that regular employees are lucky to get 2 shifts a week and managers and supervisors are expected to carry the weight all on their own. 
Management has a habit of being biased toward certain people based on personal relationships. 
A typical shift is generally easy, standard cleaning and customer service for cast members, but Supervisors get severely under paid for what is expected of them. If you have no plans for advancement above an entry level employee, Malco is a great first job, but if you have any future plans with a company then I would suggest looking elsewhere. 

Malco was a great place to work! I started working there as a teenager, and found a good work/life balance between my job, band, and school. It was often busy there and I learned to be fast paced in my work. 
Often durng sets it would be slow, but during the sets it was busy and we could get about 500-800 customers on Saturday's. 
The management team was the best I've ever worked with- they made the environment worthwhile and I was never truly unhappy there with them. They are still my good friends. 
The hardest part of the job was Covid-19 regulations. Customers were very combative with some rules in place but the managers tried their best to make sure everyone was safe. But all in all I had a great experience there.

I dont really like t nor is it worth it. Sure you get free movies. popcorn. and half price on all cooked foods. but thats it. It is definitely not worth it especially, when all you get is most of the time. 2 days of work each week. the hours go from 10a-5p, 4p-11p 6p-11p or 2p-6p
You dont get to be supervisor or box unless you are liked by the employers. I have worked here for more months than some people. I do my job and i still not have gotten box officw position. The supervisors and managers are all friends it is all based on how the managers and supervisors view you. even if you work good you do not get to be supervisors. one of my coworkers deserved or and all they got was box office. favortism is a major factor at malco.. so be prepared!

Typical Day:
Easy day but the management doesn't always make the day worth the money
What I've learned:
There are people that you might be close with but in the end, you can't always trust them. Some people are just in it for themselves no matter how it affects other people's lives. 
Management:
For the most part, the management is nice to work with, but there are some, some high powered managers that, don't really care about the jobs of their employees as long as they don't have to do it themselves. 
Hardest part:
Respecting and dealing with management, not saying things that need to be said because of fear of management
Most enjoyable: 
Getting to hang out with friends and going home at the end of the day

Fun place to work if you live with no responsibilities. I enjoyed working here dispite the messy customers that came to watch movies.  As my first job I was unaware of the business side of things, just worked to have a little money in my pocket.  Management is willing to help out and be a little goofy doing it. Co- workers are mostly high school students, so the typical teenage slack offs and drama filled environment. Hardest part now that I look back is the short hours, low pay, and was always getting in the way of enjoying high school events. Most enjoyable was the first job experience, earning a pay check, pretty much everything except being able to make a living working there.

If you're a teen looking for a part time job while in high school, Malco can be a fun place to work and an easy way to make a few bucks on the side.

If you're looking for a job to bring in money to survive on, look elsewhere.  While the work is easy, you'll barely get any hours and make minimum wage working the few you do get.  Rather than just hiring a smaller reliable crew, Malco's whole MO is to hire way more people than necessary and barely give any of them any hours.

Management at the location I worked at was incompetent outside of one or two notable exceptions, and the higher-ups in the company are not great people.  Promotions are based solely on favoritism by management and not on ability or merit.

With the exception of 2 or so managers, the management at my theatre are either mean, don't seem to care for their employees, or both. Generally, my coworkers are all super great people, but because our management seems not to care about us, our retention rate is terrible and we seem to always be understaffed. Hours fluctuate, sometimes I'll get 4 hours in a week, sometimes I'll get 20. During holidays, they totally breach your set availability. For example, I worked nearly 50 hours during the week of thanksgiving break, I'm not supposed to be scheduled for more than 20. I get paid fairly to do pretty easy work most of the time, so I guess it's worth it.

Daily input of new employees, termination of ex-employees.  Coordinate all benefits, answer questions.  Reply to employment verification.  Bi-weekly payroll runs bi-computer and bi-weekly payroll runs for several arrears that had to be hand keyed.  

Learned about taxation of employees and tax forms. 

Management was always available if you needed help

Co-workers were busy and got along for the most part. 

Hardest part was the volume of emplolyes

Most enjoyable was helping out an employee

Management gave write ups too often for too little. Felt like I was always about to be let go until I left. Supervisors are 50/50 fun to work with or unhelpful.

Hours sucked, pay was not good when combined with hours I maybe had 400 dollars coming in every two weeks, many times less.

Red flag: average age for your typical cast member is around 18. Nothing against young folks, but it shows how badly you treat/pay your employees when the majority of them are still green when it comes to working life.

As a manager my opinion on my job is gonna be biased. I like the job, it doesn't pay much but you really are just giving people popcorn and stuff, but, when you are short staffed the money is definitely not enough. There's always a lot of hiring issues cause it is a weekend oriented job and people tend to not want to work the weekends, which is fair. When there is a fair amount of staff however, the job is really fun. We get to see movies before the general public, get to have movie posters, and get free popcorn and drink.
