With the company founded 27 years ago, “I think we have all the details honed in now where we’re really ready to go,” said Studio Movie Grill chief executive Brian Schultz just before the theater at 128 N. Rows of futuristic-looking recliners - outfitted with cooling cup holders, blue lights and a red button to call a waiter- line the 10 auditoriums of the national dine-in theater chain’s location in the heart of the city’s art and entertainment district.

With how busy and overwhelming the weekends and big premiers get, you have to have a good head on your shoulders to be able to get through it.“I’m waiting to blast off,” a tech-focused film festival founder said during a tour of Studio Movie Grill’s downtown Glendale location grand opening on Thursday.

You'll basically have to be a miracle worker if you want to gain promotions while keeping your head down. Don't expect to let your work do all the talking if you want to work your way up here. Progression in the company is determined half by ability, skill, and work ethic the other half is determined by how well you can schmooze with superiors. If you're more socially inclined and can get on peoples' good side, climbing up won't be hard. Management is very friendly face-to-face, but you can tell they have their favorites. If you're a people pleaser, highly dedicated, willing to throw yourself at the wall for your work, and need plenty of hours, you will do well here. They do start you off flexibly, but will pressure you to take on more hours and cut into your unavailability if you give them the chance. Almost immediately my schedule was overwhelmed. School and personal life will be pushed to the wayside. This is a job that will become the #1 priority in your life. What I mean is that if you're used to more hands on, understanding, touchy-feely, and well benefited employment experience that a lot of California companies provide, you're going to be in for a surprise. It's very apparent that this is a company out from Texas making their way in California.
