    Cineworld Employee, June 2023

  • Best thing

    The people you get to work with, and the customers that you interact with. Every day is different but they always try thier best to assist in the sucess of the team.

    Worst thing

    A couple times thing can get reppatative, and the workload can fluctuate depening in the day. And doing tasks throughly takes longer than they estimate.

  • Best thing

    Free movies, flexible working hours, great if you're a student looking for pocket money or as a first job.

    Worst thing

    Mixes of Early shifts and late ones, never know the shifts in advance enough to make plans in advance, very hard to advance further in the job. Higher up management gives zero donkeys about staff members

  • Best thing

    I have made life long friends from my job, and I get along with the other team members too.

    Worst thing

    Having to do late nights, finishing midnight or even later. Lot of things to keep track of, cleaning, screen and toilet checks, daily tasks, monthly tasks etc. Lot of work for a zero hour job in my opinion.
