silvercity movie theatre/famous players/cineplex or w/e u call it...i heard it's fun to work there. u get to see movies for free. can bring one friend if u want with u to showings...and when it was my bday...my friend brought me in for free...u can watch any movie for free at any silvercity or etc...
i'd have to disagree! i worked at metro off the wall and it sucked BALLS. all the girls there are nasty but the asst manager, eric, is pretty cool. discounts were good but that's only after 3 months and i hardly even lasted that long but i honestly don't think it's worth it.

i've had so many friends work at silvercity. and yeah, it's good at first b/c of the free movies but working there is like total shit. the floor is all sticky and greasy b/c of the pop and popcorn and i heard it's min. wage too. yuck!

nike (robson and metro) is a good company to work for (i work there!). fun staff and it's laidback and chill but it takes FOREVER to get raises. they base your starting wage on how much experience you get. discounts are okay.... nothing too substantial.

aldo (robson) was a good company to work for minus standing 8 hours in heels. the only good side was the discounts which were readily available to you when you start and the 1 hour breaks.

taco del mar (new west) was a shit job. management sucked and it's min. wage. 'nuff said. good burritos and food though.

cobs bread (new west) was a fun place to work! if you close, you get to take home as much food as you want. and it smells so wonderful when you work there. management there sucked too though and would change my shifts without notifying me first.

eco outdoor sports (granville) was such a CHILL job! no uniform and sweet discounts after your probationary period (discounts off WHOLESALE). there were also yearly staff trips to whistler.

--------

my friend worked at la vie en rose (metro) and liked it. it was super chill and good discounts too.

my friend worked at costa blanca (metro) and she hated it. management sucked and was unreasonable with her hours, as she was going to school at the same time.
