Amc theatre question for accounting clerk?extension Something seems wrong with that salary. It's at least twice as much as it should be. AMC is a well known movie theater. I just don't believe that salary for an accounting clerk.
Amc theatre question for accounting clerk?movie theater opera theater
As a theatre manager, it wouldn't totally surprise me. Movie theatres have some special accounting/bookkeeping requirements that can be time consuming. Unlike dealing with regular vendors, the film studios have special requirements for how payments are calculated and these can change from movie to movie. Furthermore, there is usually back and forth as the aggregate percentages for each movie change.
Plus you have all the regular things with other vendors and the inventories to be reconciled (and I believe AMC does daily inventory).
Because AMC operates in different states, there are also a variety of different requirements for calculating sales tax. I know in California, whether or not popcorn is taxable depends on the equipment used to hold/serve and the packaging used.
The work at home thing does sound a bit fishy, but it also makes more sense than maintaining an office space for all the bookkeepers that would be required.
The most important thing is to remember that you can always say no. And I would be cautious if he wants you to meet somewhere other than a corporate headquarters, branch office, or an AMC theatre.
The title "clerk" usually implies no degree, doing fairly simple bookkeeping duties, and sometimes an element of office management (passing out mail, ordering office supplies, etc.).
A salary of $55/hour is equivalent to about $114,000 annually ($55 x 2,080 hours--%26gt; 40 hours a week, 52 weeks in a year). This is on par with the salary of a small company CFO or sometimes a large company's Controller- No way they'd let you do either of those jobs from home. No way they would get the position title confused with "clerk".
An average salary for a clerk is probrably $30-35k annually where I live.
This offer is a scam. If you got the guy's name and phone number, you might want to call AMC headquarters (you can probrably find the number on their website) and tell someone what's going on. They would want to be aware that this person is misrepresenting their company.
