Odeon Employer Reviews

The Job consisted of serving customers on the food counter and ticket office, handling orders and money as well as cleaning the equipment and cinema screens, I did many different hours from opening to closing, this temporary positions was extended from January to February

I got a job here in Decemeber, it was horrific, in the Trafford Centre - the staff were treated poorly and behind the scenes was so gross that i never went back after my first day, yes a few free tickets but only to rubbish films.

Getting your till checked before you start the shift, working with friends. Talking to the customers about what film they are seeing.

One of the best reasons to work for Odeon is, the work environment. Also an enjoyable workplace full of energy, friendly coworkers, and people who care about you achieving your future goals.

A typical day at work would involve running between Projection, Retail and the office trying to balance the workload equally (this isn't always physically possible). Working all day without a break and still getting 45 mins deducted out of pay.
Management I found to be highly disorganized, there was a lack of communication and trust was missing. Handovers – more... from the previous shift were missing important information, the workload was not being shared equally and rota's were completed last minute so you never knew what you were working from week to week.
Over time several incidents had pushed me towards my decision to leave one being the GM never listening to important issues concerning the cinema.
The enjoyable part of the job would be working with the team members. – less

A typical day at the Odeon, can be very fast pace, moving between areas and sometimes getting covered in food. On other days its very relaxed and everything is done before its due.

I've learned that a smile can go along way, I love chatting with guest's and giving them the best experience. I've learned about food storage and hygiene, and more.

The – more... management at the Odeon where I work are very friendly individuals, they are prime examples of normal people who have worked their way up the company ladder.

The people I work with are fantastic, to me they make the job. They are not just my co-workers they are my friends. I socialise with my team after work and on my days off.

The hardest part of the job is the hours, because it is a cinema and open late you can sometimes work a 9am - 5pm and then a 7pm - 2am. This is the reason I want a different career.

The most enjoyable part of the job is when you satisfy a guest, the best reward you can get is someone shaking your hand and saying Thanks, its very self satisfying.

All in all its a great job, the people are nice, the jobs not bad, you get free taxis home, they can and will work around you (however they will not give you set shifts, which is what I am after), you get 40% discount and free tickets for yourself and after probation period 15 per quarter for family and friends. – less

Whilst working at the odeon many jobs were always at hand. Throughout a shift I would be called upon to do either, ticket sales or shop sales. Also there was tasks such as cleaning up and screen checking. I also stocked the shop shelves and was a ticket usher. The management of this job were very supportive in many ways and were easy to get along with, – more... also they were friendly and happy which created a good environment to be a part of. The hardest part of the job was maintaining the shop's appearance as it got busy quickly. The most enjoyable part of the job was ushering as I got to communicate with guests and make them feel welcome. – less

Odeon are very flexible with hours, so whilst I was studying it was great as I could change my availability if I needed more time for uni work.
