I applied a couple of months ago and got called on tuesday for an interview on thursday of the same week. When I got to AMC I had to wait for maybe 15 minutes but the Manager was very polite and nice. The interview itself took 10-15 minutes and he said I would be called in one to two days if I got the job offer. I got called the very same night and was told I was hired just to wait for the call for orientation.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 2 weeks)

I applied online which consisted of personality questions, and 2 weeks later was called. In the call, I was asked if I could maintain good hygiene, cover up tattoos or piercings, and keep hair clean cut. (This was a Saturday) I was then told I could interview on Monday. I entered the theater and told guest services I had an interview. I was given a film crew binder holding all material on the job, it's expectations, and a brochure on the Stubs program. After reviewing that, I handed it back to an employee who led me upstairs, where I was greeted and taken to the manager's office. I gave him my resume and was asked what brought me to AMC. I was then asked if i was ever in a place where i went out of my way to help someone, a place with long lines, and a place that was dirty and what I did/ how it made me feel. We then talked about Stubs. I told him all I knew about it (be sure to memorize) and what I would say to a customer to sell them stubs, then to say what I would do if I came across a customer who didn't want a Stubs card. After that, we went over details of the job and I was allowed to ask questions. I was told offers/rejections would go out Thursday. I went in with my heart pounding (this was my first interview) and left calm and confident. Great atmosphere and great experience.

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Glendora, CA (took a day)

i submitted an application online and the next night i got a call asking me if i was interested in the job still. the guy on the phone basically went through some of the basics of what you'd have to do and how you have to look. he told me that i should go to amcstubs.com to learn about the new stubs reward card that amc offers because we'll be tested on that in the interview. he told me to go in a few days for a group interview.

when i arrived i sat down and there were people there already, when they were ready they escorted us to the office upstairs and they had chairs lined up with name tags. i found mine and sat down. the guy ended up telling us that there was a three step interview and if you passed all three interviews you'd get the job. he ended up going around asking everyone to tell us who they were, what school they go to, what they're majoring in and what not. when that was done you had someone writing down and marking down what each one of us said to keep track of our responses. then when we were all done the guy (the supervisor) asked us all to tell him what our favorite movie was. then after asked us why we wanted to work there. when we were done the supervisor and the assistant supervisor went out to discuss who'd be cut.

the second round came and i was pumped that i made it past the first. this round they basically had us act out certain scenarios of what could possibly happen with a customer and how we'd handle the situation. they had cut out about 15-20 different scenarios and each one of us had to pretend to be a customer while the other person was the worker. this part was pretty intimidating since i am not an actor and i've never gone to an interview where you had to act out a situation and handle it. then after we acted out a variety of scenes, they told us that working at AMC is all about selling, and that if you don't have the skills to sell things this is not the job for you, and that if you don't sell enough of the AMC stubs cards you will be fired so they made us act out other scenes where we had to act out certain problems co-workers face on a daily basis and how we'd handle the situation if we were working and came across this kind of a situation.

after the second round you go into a one on one with the supervisors. here they asked you about your personality etc. if they found your answers acceptable they hired you if they didn't like your personality / answers you didn't land the job. i ended up not getting the job.

DEFINITELY A HARD INTERVIEW... maybe it was just the location because i've asked friends who worked for other AMC theatres and they said they never had to go through an interview process like i did. I rated the overall experience to be negative because of how intensive the questions were. The supervisors though were extremely nice, I wish whoever got the job the best of luck!

I keep calling AMC to see if they were hiring, after 2 months of calling I finally got an interview. I walked in and the manager gave me 2 pieces of paper and told me to read them, after reading them she took in into this smelly locker room and interviewed me. The interview was going great until she told me to sale the AMC rewards card to her, I didnt do a good job on selling it and I knew I wasnt going to get the job.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 1+ week)

I was well prepared to be asked the typical interview questions, but they didn't ask me any normal questions.

Instead, I was asked things such as, "Describe a time when you weren't satisfied with the cleanliness of a store, and how did you feel?" I accidentally messed up while I was answering this question, because it was a question that I totally wasn't expecting and as a result, I didn't get a job offer.

I wished they would of asked me questions such as, "Tell me about yourself," because I had a lot of very good answers prepared for them.

Overall, the questions weren't difficult, but the interview ended up being difficult for me because I was thrown off guard by the weird questions that I was being asked.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Largo, FL (took 5 days)

First I put in an application online. The next day I received a call from the theater. The hiring manager asked me a few questions and then we scheduled another interview for in person. I went into the theater dressed up, although I have seen others who did not and still received jobs. I was to look over some information about the company and uniform and duties I would be expected to perform and then I was called into the office for my interview. I was then asked the normal question like why I wanted the job, and such. After the interview was complete she told me that I did exceptionally and that she would let me know that day or in three days because she had the next few days off. As promised on the third day I received a call stating I had the job!

As soon as I came they gave me a rewards program to learn (Stubs). They gave me that to memorize before they actually started the interview. Once I was sure I had the program memorized and ready to recite back to them, we started the interview. One person ask the questions and the other wrote down what I was saying. Then she asked for me to recite back the program. I did very well. They called the next day and hired me.

You are contacted by a supervisor/manager for a phone screening interview. Basically this consists of the basic, why do you want to work there, etc. Then it is on to a 1:1 interview with a General Manager of a theatre. Again same basic questions, but with some new ones such as how would you handle a particular situation. Then one last interview with another GM, same basic questions.

Negotiation Details

I negotiated because I had previous management experience. They cap you off at 80% the position value, so for an OPS manager 11.25 an hour. You can get up to 13.50 an hour if you are qualified and eventually get raises.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Indianapolis, IN (took 2 weeks)

I applied online and heard back from them in about a week. When they called me back, we had a very simple phone interview where I explained that I didn't have any tattoos or anything. After that I got an interview scheduled for a week later. The interview itself was very relaxed; we just sat on a bench in the lobby where he asked me five basic life experience questions that he read off a clipboard. The answers that they're looking for are fairly obvious. If they ask you to tell them about a time you saw a dirty restaurant, make sure to say that it made you question whether or not you'd come back. When the interview was over, he told me they were interviewing throughout the week and that I'd hear back at the end of the week. At that time he called me and offered me the job. I started training about two weeks after his initial call.
