What I liked

Great people managers and employees, tons of fun. Also great hours (40 +) a week over summer. Holidays even better!

What I wish was different

I wish there would have been more consistent work hours instead of changing my schedule every week.

Be patient with customers and don't slack off. If you are asked to do something do it and do it with intent, not at a leisurely pace.

Box Office Cashier

May - August 2018 • Monterey, CA

What I liked

I liked how the coworkers genuinely cared for you. Sometimes, customers and managers can make you feel horrible about yourself, but your coworkers are always there for you. If you seemed like you were too caught up with one thing, people would go out of their way to help you.

What I wish was different

I wish a certain manager wasn’t so outwardly racist towards employees. She made certain coworkers feel uncomfortable because they were Black or Hispanic, and I thought that made working conditions very hostile at times. I’ve been followed into bathrooms and break rooms because she wanted to make sure we (people of color) weren’t stealing or doing whatever she thought POC do, and have overheard her speak to a Black coworker about how he shouldn’t talk the way he does because it makes the employees look unintelligent. Of course, this is very specific to one manager at one Cinemark theatre, and therefore shouldn’t reflect the entire company. However, it was something I wish I didn’t have to experience.

Advice

Even though a summer retail job is not the rosiest, it’s a great way to build character. When you are the customer, we tend to forget that an actual person is on the other side. However, being able to experience what it is like to be of service for others really helped me develop a thicker skin and better confidence in myself and my abilities without the consideration of those who would rather bring me down. My advice is to stay true to yourself, stay on track with your goals, and never let anyone else tell you your limits.

Theater Assistant Manager

February 2018 • Rancho Mirage, CA

I really like the flexible hours they offer. Going to school full time makes it hard to work full time, but here i was able to do just that even if it means cutting sleep hours.

What I wish was different

There is not anything i wish could be different. A job is meant to be tough and even if i got tired or irritated, it is what having a job means.

Advice

My advice would be to make the most out of every day and take the experience as a growing and learning experience.
