Not the best experience... Working at a movie theater can certainly be a lot of fun but the managers were pretty awful at my location.

Overall, my fellow employees were really cool. A few weren't but that's to be expected. As always, your job experience often depends on who you have to work with. Also, the company went public so that was a negative.
