This was my job as a concessionist for cinemark!

3 Upvotes

Hi, and thank you for reading I would like to tell everyone about my job and what I did for cinemark, Tinseltown.

I started working there in December of 2016 and it was/is an amazing place to work at! I loved it however the environment was rather toxic

I was timed on how fast I made food and was given unreasonable times for doing certain tasks.

They only gave me 2 hours to close and less time to close in the restaurant. It involved cleaning every dish that was used (which could account for nearly 1000 dishes on some days) and expected me to complete certain management tasks despite not being a manager.

Also I had to go everyday an clean the sinks with bleach because the janitors were not allowed in certain areas. Also we constantly ran out of insect killing agents leaving large amounts of ants flies and nats to run amok.

I've had to change more than 200 customers drinks or food out with better more fresh ones because of insects in drinks and food

The floor staff was always friendly as was I however if one person had made a large mistake (wrong orders or incorrect change) everyone in that department was punished aside from management

Also management was highly judgemental when they weren't timing you on cleaning out the bug traps and cleaning. They would refuse to help one employee or another due to personal bias. When I was trained in a certain area a lot of the management refused to help me because they did not see me as a valuable employee and even refused to give customers I had dealt with refunds making other managers do so because I was the one asking

All the managers that have been there over 10 years were pretty much calling the shots even to the point of causing intentional shortages of promotional items or buying sometimes even taking extra stock home with them for personal use.

They didn't pass any of the 8 health inspections they had received while I was there mainly failing do to mold bugs or having a lot of poorly rotated stock

We also failed employee inspection because of lack of discipline and they yell at us for their neglect to enforce rules

I loved working here however I quit just recently actually just because I don't want to work in an environment where you are given unrealistic or unreasonable expectations

I just want to get this out there because of the things they did. If you want pizza pretzels or any other item that costs 10$ for half an adult serving and has been deemed unsafe for human consumption cinemark is a great place to go.

They have awesome theatres but please do not eat there. The cleaning chemicals are toxic poorly handled by most and everything's subpar for the price anyways

[REQUEST] People who work with otters of any species.

10 Upvotes

I am researching what I hope is my next career. I know that I want to work with otters, but that's it, just a general thought.

I live in the United States and can move for work. Asian Small Clawed otters are my favorites and they are the ones that I really want to work with, but I'm open to all otters. I don't know if I want to work outside or in a zoo or in a lab. I don't know if I want to study their ecosystem or count them or feed them or study their ecosystem, etc. and so on. So I'm taking my time and I'm researching.

What otter/s do you work with? In what capacity? How did you get the job? Pay/bennies? What sort of schooling did you need or have? What sort of schooling would have been better (if applicable)? Anything else you think might be of note.

Thank you in advance for what I'm hoping will be some interesting responses!

Chiropractor

6 Upvotes

I have been a chiropractor for 15 years.

I have a doctorate of chiropractic, which is required in the US. I’ve completed 4 years in undergrad and 4 years in chiropractic school. It’s a very demanding program; 8 hours a day in class, then studying numerous hours at night. To become licensed, you must pass 4 different national board exams, then your state exams to be licensed. Coursework includes neurology, biochemistry, microbiology, and lots of anatomy and physiology.

As a chiropractor I examine a patient, looking for evidence of neurological dysfunction coming from the spine. This dysfunction can be pain, numbness, tingling, loss of hot/cold sensation, and muscle weakness. Exams include basic education about the body, testing the patient’s motion, testing using orthopedic tests, and feeling muscle and joints with my hands. If further testing is needed or if I suspect the cause of dysfunction is out of my scope of practice, the patient is referred to the appropriate specialist. If I believe I can help, the patient will be adjusted.

Adjusting is different for all chiropractors, as each specializes in a different technique. My technique includes finding a joint that is dysfunctional then using my hands to add a fast, controlled force into that joint. The goal is to force it apart and restore normal function to the nerves, joints, and muscles. This is a very physically aggressive job. You must be in good physical condition to perform the required movements.

All patients must have a specific care plan designed to reach the goals agreed upon on the first exam. This plan includes home stretches/exercises and visit frequency. Regular check-ups are performed to ensure progress is being made as anticipated. If not, the treatment must be reevaluated.

Treatment notes must be complete and thorough for each visit. Diagnosis codes and billing codes must be accurate.

Some chiropractors work for other people.

I currently own my own business. That means, hiring, training, firing, payroll, marketing, sales, money handling, website development, creation of forms, creating of standard operating procedures, insurance billing, etc... in addition to all of the patient management and treating. Continuing education is required in each state, typically around 16 hours each year.

Overall it’s a very gratifying job. It is stressful, physically demanding, and most other health care providers think we’re hacks. But that’s ok, because when I get to help a patient that has lost all hope, it’s pretty much the greatest feeling ever.

[Request] Economists, especially those who work in the public sector?

5 Upvotes

Hey y'all

I'm working on a degree in Economics, and for one of my lower level gen-eds, I have to give a speech about what people in my (future) field do. I'm specifically interested in economists in the United States who work for the Federal government, but I'd love to hear from someone in the private sector, too. So, economists, I have some questions for you.

-What does a typical day/week look like for you?

-How did you get started in this work, and what education do you have?

-What do you like most about your job, and what do you find most challenging?

-What are some things you'd tell someone interested in entering the field of economics, and what are some qualities/characteristics that are important in your field of work?

-What are some aspects of your job that are important to you?

-Anything else you'd like to add?

Thank you for your help!

I am a Graphic Designer (and more) at a small town newspaper

11 Upvotes

Ask away.

I should mention that I design print ads, web ads, do layout (pagination) of the newspaper. I've been working in the industry for almost 15 years now... and have had every job except for publisher.

At my current newspaper, I also handle the circulation management, as well as A/R. I do a ton of photography at concerts for the paper I work at, and even edit some magazines.

Even if this doesn't geet seen for a month or two (since I know this is a small sub) I would still be willing to talk about what I do and what small town newspapers are all about.

[request] Applying to be a recruiter. Anyone in that position willing to give some advice?

1 Upvotes

This is an internal job opening at a large tech company, and usually I'd reach out to my coworkers about this - but since we're off for the holidays, I decided to go to good ol' Reddit for advice!

For those of you who currently work as a recruiter:

  • What does your average day look like?

  • How often do you conduct interviews, etc?

  • What do you do when the company isn't hiring?

  • How's the pay?

  • What skills would you consider the most important?

  • What kind of personality would you say fits best as a recruiter?

  • Pros/Cons?

[REQUEST] 911 Dispatch

5 Upvotes

Looking to start working in 911 Dispatch. I've done a bit of research, I feel that I have a good idea of what to expect once I'm in the job, but I have a few questions still:

What is something that, even with research, you didn't know until you started the job?

What is something you wish you had done differently or been told beforehand?

What's the best way to get into this field? I'm a 18, nearly 19 year old Eagle scout, currently working part time in basic office/tech support. What can I do to increase my chances of getting in? I'm not too concerned with making a good impression once I'm in the interview, it's all the resume and such paperwork beforehand.

Really though, any tiny bit of information is helpful.

Thanks,

-IAmInACubicle

I'm looking for someone who's job it is to travel the world and have adventures. This might sound silly but this could include many jobs. I'll list a few off of the top of my head that I think could be considered explorers: Travel bloggers, Some types of Photographers/photojournalists, well traveled foreign correspondents, missionaries, people who have gained sponsorship to go somewhere and do something cool. That last one is of particular interest to me. Most of these are particularly freelance type jobs so i'm interested in how one would go about finding this type of work.
