Don't know how I missed this. ONLY TWO REPLIES! Shit that is pathetic! COME ON! We Cinemarkers have to show ourselves!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-28-2004 03:24 AM                        Yes, you must show yourselves and be proud! Cinemark is the best! They take care of their employees... hell they almost pay them too much! They create a nice, comfortable atmosphere for the employee. They LOVE projectionists and they are always fair. Always. It is the best job you will ever have!  |  IP: Logged Manuel Francisco Valencia Expert Film Handler Posts: 151 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-28-2004 04:18 PM                     Jealous Joe?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-28-2004 05:16 PM                     Heck, I was going to post and ask when Sinemark started hiring actual employee.....

Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-30-2004 11:44 AM                     I used to work for Cinemark. Here is what I did. Concession Usher Stock Maintenance Usher-B Inventory, different than stock. Helped managers close. All for a whopping $5.60 an hour, and it took me over 2 years to make that much. Needless to say, I am much happier working for an independent.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 03-30-2004 02:16 PM                     I don't work for Cinemark, but before I was promoted I only increased $1 per hour in three years. After being promoted I made/make quite a bit more.  |  IP: Logged Chris Liczbinski Film Handler Posts: 33 From: US Registered: Oct 2003 posted 03-31-2004 05:22 AM                    Cinemark "Booth Manager" here. I think experiences with Cinemark depend on the theater you work for, or maybe not but our managers like what they do and make working there comfortable. Our tech is always polite, knowledgable and willing to train me on new things when he comes out as well. Sure the pay is not luxurious but then again I am 20 and going to college and for that it is enough. I'm not saying Cinemark is "the best" because I have no grounds to say that, it is the only theater I have worked for. Maybe since our theater is 45 minutes away from the corporate headquarters it makes a difference?  |  IP: Logged Manuel Francisco Valencia Expert Film Handler Posts: 151 From: Oklahoma City, OK, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 03-31-2004 12:26 PM                     Jeremy/Stewart Were you guys working at megaplexes or eight screen theatres that did not do a lot of business. If it is the latter then that is why you were not making a lot of money, it is not because Cinemark is cheap. In the three years and some odd months I have been working for Cinemark my pay has gone up $4. Stewart The turnover rates could be from a bad GM, a lot of seasonal employees, business flow, etc. When were you with Cinemark. The techs were not always from Cinemark but an outside service so I wondering if it was them or a Cinemark tech. Don't let the bad apple spoil the bunch.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Fuentes Mmmm, Dr. Pepper! Posts: 1168 From: Corpus Christi, TX United States Registered: Jan 2004 posted 03-31-2004 01:07 PM                     Manuel I worked at a Megaplex. It had alot to do with the GM. He sucked. And me and the manager who did the evaluations for raises didnt get along to well either. She was one of those people who can't be wrong, and I am one of those people that likes to prove that someone is wrong, especially during an argument. She is the one who let me train in booth, but didn't want to lose me in concession, so she made sure I wasn't scheduled to many booth days. And all this time, the GM would always take her side on everything. Other than that, I really liked working there, the other managers were good, and I met some of my best friends there, along with my wife. Plus the booth crew and booth managers there are some of the best at the job. It was just the people that controlled the money that I had a problem with.  |  IP: Logged
