AMG sounds like a weird title...I feel sorry for some people in my heirarchy. Assistant Manager, actually is a good title to have. you start out as satff. The next line up? A title called MANAGER IN TRAINING. See, the catch is, that this title sticks until you become an Assistant. I had seen a few people who were MIT for 2-3 yrs. Assistant's do just that, assist the manager in the day to day job. Depending on how many you have, I would guess your lead Assistant, or senior Assistant (those are unofficial names) would be your right hand man/woman. Then you have your manager (me), or at larger complexes, a Managing Director (who's lead Asst is actually called Manager). That's just Goodrich. We actually used to have a RELIF MANAGER instead of MIT, which sounded a WHOLE lot better. I'd interviewed with Kerasotes once, and they had some wierd titles too. Yes, they had Assistant, but above that, there was House Manager, then General Manager, and so on.

My official title is Managing Member.Someone called up last week and asked how the Managing Member was. I responded that the Manager's Member was just fine, thank you. To the rest of the staff we are just the owners. We have two Managing Members, two Assistant Managers and the rest are staff.

Well...
Regular staff are:
ST-Store=concessions
CA-Cashier=box
DO-Dorr=ticket taker/usher/projectionist (not all at once!!)Managers are:
Manager-head honcho guy
Relief Manager-manager on Manager's days off
Assistant Manager-extra help to be plugged in where needed Now in actuality we really don't have a Relief Manager, the 3 assistants have the Manager's day's off divided up among ourselves. As far what I call myself:
Theatre God
Assistant Manager
Booth Manager
Projectionist
Slide Manager
Trailer changeout/print build up/tear down guy

when it comes to ground level titles, these are some of my favorites:Popcorn Pushers
Soda Shovers When it comes to the management staff at my theatre, it's usually:
The Big Boss, Head Cheese, Head honcho, etc. For booth level: Projectionist, film handler, film fumbler (me), mylar magicians, platter people, there are more, but that is enough for now...

I myself, am the Assistant District Manager (although we have only ONE district... at the time the District Manager received his title... we knew of nothing better to call him).But at the theatre level we have: Theatre Manager - the person IN CHARGE
House Manager - (I have a house manager at MY theatre cause I'm not ALWAYS there) - She runs the place in my absence and makes all the important decisions when my attention is needed elsewhere. (she rules) (she reads this)
Assistant Manager - the person IN CHARGE when the Theatre Manager goes home. Head Projectionist - the person in charge of keeping the booth supplied and clean. Usually also builds up and breaks down the majority of the movies.
Projectionist - fills in when the Projectionist wants to go hang himself off the marquee. Then there's FLOOR STAFF - (box, concessions and usher, RARELY a door person.) ------------------

My customers call me Dave.When they ask for the manager, I tell them that I am the operator of this facility, and then they ask for my supervisor, you know, someone in charge. Then I tell them that I am in fact the second coming of christ, and God is busy right now. Dave ------------------
