What are the Challenges of the Job?

We work hard and we work late, but it's satisfying!

We want to give our guests the best film experience possible. To do this, our jobs demand being fast paced and require long hours of walking, standing and guest interaction. Employees consistently work until midnight and can sometimes work until 2:00am on busy weekends (or busy $5 Tuesday's!) It's hard, but satisfying work. (Employees ages 14-15 do not work as late.)

We work when others play; but we make it fun!

Employees are required to be available for work on 3 of the 4 following weekdays and all major Holidays: Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (Typically only 1-2 Sunday's per month). Typically, employees will not work all of these days every week; however, our employees must be available to work on these days to help deliver great guest service to the large number of guests we receive.

What Positions are Available? (Availability of departments fluctuates based on need)

• Food Court - Our largest department. Those who work in the food court can expect a lot of guest service interaction, cash handling, making concessions, and cleaning.
• Floor Team - Arguably our most physically intense department. The floor team quickly cleans each auditorium before the start of every film. They also ensure the cleanliness of our lobbies and restrooms, etc. Floor Department Leader's also assist in building film schedules and addressing projection issues. 
• Box Office -- Our smallest department. in this department you can expect to handle ticket sales, refunds, loading gift cards, and to be the main point of contact for guests at the theatre. Not every theatre has an active Box Office team. Some theatre's combine the functions of the Floor and Box Office team into one central department called Operations.
• General Department Leader -- General Department Leader's participate in all functions of the three main departments. This position usually operates in our smaller locations (i.e. Gateway, Cottonwood, Southern Utah)
