I worked at Cinema North 1983-1988 as an usher, concessions, box-office… then assistant mgr and projectionists. I transferred to Cinema South in 1988 as manager. I think GMNash was the manager at Cinema South before me? Then I was transferred to Belcourt when Carmike purchased Consolidated in 1989 or 1990? I worked at Belcourt for about 18 months before I retired. I hated the hours at Belcourt… Cinema North and South were open for matinees all year so the manager hours were mostly normal daytime hours… generally 11am-6pm Mon-Friday and a couple of shifts on the weekends. Belcourt was only open for Matinees during the summer. So the manager hours were almost all Night hours 5pm-Midnight + weekends and we still had to keep some day-time hours to take care of banking, deliveries, etc. Impossible to have a real life outside of work. It ended up being a lot more hours for less pay (they paid by the number of screens and small commission on concession sales). Then I was robbed at gunpoint twice within 6 months. No thanks! I moved on to a safer day-time job with better pay and benefits. But it was a fun job most of the time.
