Consider these factors when deciding whether or not to apply for a job at the movies.

Perks and Pay Scale

Movie theatres generally pay minimum wage to cinema attendants/ushers and entry-level staff. Projectionists may command a higher hourly rate, as well as on-the-job training; and duty and complex managers are often salaried.

Perks differ from cinema to cinema, but most chains offer their staff free or discounted movies and selected food items. As cinemas wish their staff to be knowledgeable about the product, they tend to actively encourage workers to see films. The method may vary: popular concepts include unlimited free movies, $1 tickets, movie coupons issued with each paycheck, and special staff screenings. Staff may or may not be allowed to bring a friend; however, most cinemas take a poor view of staff who use their position to let numerous friends in for free.
