Backyard Cinemas - Sales Development Representative Backyard Cinema Employee Review

Fun concept, good films. Discount on food/drink.

Everything else. Confrontational management who put staff satisfaction below all else. Staff constantly told they should be happy to have a job there and that there's a long line of out of work people waiting to replace them. When staff complained about inappropriate behaviour from a supervisor they were told "maybe that's just your perception of the situation". Kept the team on furlough and then let the majority of them go with little notice before reopening. A very good concept led by passionate creatives utterly ruined by a cutthroat "control through fear" style general manager who refuses to put any of the blame on his own shoulders. Staff overworked, undervalued and severely underpaid for a company whose lofty goal is to be "The UK's leading experience".

Management are crap, after Sony bought the company we all lost our jobs

People are nice and work could be fun
