Stay working as Floor Staff at Regal Cinemas, or go work at Blockbuster...

...for an assistant management position? To be honest I enjoy my job at Regal. The only reason I am seeking another job is because my mother is pressing me to do so, and considering I live with her (I'm 19 and a college student), I have to abide by her wishes "for the most part". I would do both, but I have a feeling these companies run the same way with inconsistent hours. The reason that I don't like working at Regal has a lot to do with the pay, but I doubt that will change significantly. Another problem I have with Regal is the bi-weekly paychecks. It makes it hard for me to make my car insurance bill on time (sometimes). I know these jobs won't be what I'm doing for the rest of my life, but I want to have a job on my application that shows I'm competent. If I stay at Regal I'll probably make the two year mark, which just makes me look good (no extra benefits or anything). If I potentially get hired at Blockbuster I will have management on my resume. I just wish I could do them both. I know management would look better, but I don't want to jump into something I would hate and regret. Anybody have any Blockbuster experiences they want to share? Thanks!
 
"Another problem I have with Regal is the bi-weekly paychecks.

WHEN you get paid should not affect that your bills get paid as long as you make enough to actually pay them. Nothing stops you from paying them early (the bill is the same each month...).

if there is no advantage to going to Blockbuster (better pay, better hours, better benefits, better position with all other things being equal), then don't. If all else remains the same, and the management thing is the ONLY difference, there may be no reason to change. Maybe use the Blockbuster offer to leverage another 50 cents an hour or something at Regal? If your boss says hell no, maybe they don't consider you all that valuable an employee anyway and you will WANT to go to Blockbuster.
