Some of the managers
The shifts that are set are extremely hard to get changed and the host’s have to change them.
If I were to be ill before a shift I am the one who finds cover, unfortunately it is not the cinema manager who does that when it should be.Odeon Cinemas Cinema host, October 2022

Odeon Cinemas Cinema host, July 2022

Best thing
The free movie tickets, having to only work 4 days a week most of the time.
Worst thing
Having to deal with guests that booked on the wrong day, wrong cinema, wrong cinema chain, and then shout at you like its your fault they screwed up, or didn't read the terms of their voucher and expect free stuff.
Having to deal with rowdy teenagers that won't leave when requested to.
Working full time, but having to basically beg to get given a full time contract because head office don't dish them out in order to control costs at the detriment of your happiness

Best thing
The other hosts really make this place without them many people would leave sooner than they do, it’s easy to make friends within the hosts.
Worst thing
Poor management one of the worst I’ve ever seen, always moody and forgetful but blame the staff for their faults. Customers (guests) are awful and always rude. Many have been threatened, attacked and brought to tears and some managers don’t bat an eyelid because “it comes with working in retail”. Not the mention you get the rota for the week 2 days before and have periods where “no one’s holidays will be approved”.
Odeon Cinemas Cinema host, February 2022

Best thing
The free films and discounts, but that's about it.
Worst thing
Head office has absolutely no idea how we at Cinema level actually do our job or what we need to do that job effectively and efficiently
