REGENCY THEATRES

A typical day at worked consisted of beginning fast paced on weekends which meant non-stop moving for every employee and interacting with customers one after another. Working at concessions meant a hectic work speed and even a work environment where one still had to remain organized in. I learned that anything can be accomplished if everyone remains professional and can work independently but help each other when needed. Customers are in a rush to see their movies and still, employees must upsell and offer from the concessions stand while other employees clean at the fastest pace to move to the next theatre room. The hardest part of the job is remaining professional to the job duties that are expected of you which are a series of check marks before one can finally charge a customer that is in a hurry. Making sure you greet, offer, upsell as much as possible, and follow policies of how to charge a credit card then finally sell. The most enjoyable part of the job being the work related relationships with co-workers that are on the same duty as you to keep the place organized and running all while having fun doing so.

Regency Theatres doesn’t give their employees a reason to stick around. Employees make minimum wage with a 50 cent raise each year (if they’re lucky). If you stick around long enough to be promoted you get a 50 cent raise  where’s the incentive to stay and do a good job when you only make 50 cents to a dollar more than the people you’re supposed to manage? Meanwhile other companies are paying their assistant managers $5 to $7 dollars more than what Regency Theatres currently offers their assistant managers. On top of that the workload can be excruciatingly tough when hours are cut. Their payroll ratio is 1 hour of payroll for every 16 customers in attendance. It’s almost impossible to manage that ratio when you have multiple positions within the theatre that are required to uphold company standards and policy. It falls on the backs of supervisors and managers to make up the slack despite already having to juggle paperwork like counting inventory every night, hiring, projection programming, event planning, and more. For your sake never get promoted at this company and never stay longer than you need to.

I honestly indulge working at Regency Theaters, though I sometimes encounter problems with customers that don't like particular policies such as checking bags before they can enter the theater and purchasing their items at our concession stand, and asking for ID's to verify their name on their debit or credit card. I don't get angry with them I simply and assertively tell them that they can speak to a manager. Overall, I love when its busy and when it's congested because I like having something to do, and when it's busy, I am constantly restocking items were running low on such as pizza, nachos, syrups for the coke machines, etc.

I would prepare for the day, check emails, contact my distract manager for anything that I need to know. After opening doors, we prepare for guests coming into the building, monitor the films that are playing and handle any guest concerns. It is a fun place to work and we can enjoy each others company when working together. The hardest part of my job as a general manager is knowing that employees won't always want to come to you when they have an issue, whether it be with another co-worker or a supervisor or a manager.
The most enjoyable part of the job is how open and creative I get to be with the theatre. I've been able to rearrange things in the theatre to benefit guests and employees.

A typical day at the theatre is checking each theatre making sure nothings broken, and if so getting it repaired before the theatre opens for the day. Management at each one is different, for the most pretty good. Co-Workers excellent always willing to help out. Hardest part of the job is getting materials such as plywood, plumbing snakes and other big items to the job. they expect you to use your car, at least in my case. the most enjoyable part of the job was inter-acting with staff and people in general. but they do show the support staff that they appreciate them. the Owners are outstanding and wonderful people. couldn't ask for better!

My typical day at work was more or less a typical day at work. I dealt with coworkers, managers, customers in a efficient manner. Some days were very busy as opposed to some days the business was slower. I learned that paying attention to details is very important and participating, communication, asking for help when needed, putting all focus and energy into work tasks was also very important. Management was well. The most enjoyable part of the job was interacting with customers and helping and assisting their needs. It always made my day to see customers leave with a big smile.

This was my first real job with a company that wasn't an independent, family owned shop. The hours were good and my co-workers were mostly hardworking and fun people to be around but the environment was lax to a fault and the managers' policies varied so wildly that one employee would get written up for a trivial thing one manager would just give a warning for while the other manager writes them up without warning. Management was lacking and had an obvious bias over who they favored. Overall, it was flexible to work with and had plenty of hours to give.

It can be a great place to work.  It definitely depends on the coworkers and management at the specific location, but the work itself is pretty easy to structure and work around.  You clock in around the first showtime for morning shifts, the afternoon showing for mid-shifts, and the late afternoon/early evening showings for the night shifts.  I strangely never got sick of the smell of popcorn while working there, but a long shift tends to change that.  Overall, it is a great way to work in an environment for people who enjoy film and customers can be either wonderful or awful (as expected). 

I've enjoyed my time with Regency, the staff isn't the worst, but unfortunately upper management are really old fashioned and don't have much respect for their staff. We're looked down on and put to blame for any of the company's shortcomings. It's a job with "family values," which is a big red flag. Good flexibility and decent hours during the busy seasons, but your hours aren't guaranteed when it's slower. There's a lack of connection between staff and upper management, or standard management to upper management. Lots of miscommunication, or lack of.

Working for the theater helped me learn how to multitask, while meeting excellent costumer service. management was always helpful when needed, would show or tell us how to act in a situation when a costumer became unhappy, to be able to stay calm and help the costumer get the service they need. the hardest part of the job was running back and fourth cashiering and cleaning theaters, easiest part was getting along with everyone whom I worked with. Most enjoyable part was seeing the costumers leaving happy after their movie was done.
