This type of work is definitely needed in the Rio Grande Valley and we want to say Thank You to everyone working with groups like AltaCair for all the amazing resources we have access to.  Don’t forget to subscribe to @TheRioGrandePodcast on YouTube and a huge thanks to all our #RioGrandePeeps for spending another week with us talking about our health! #RGV #956 #ForTheValley  Text us!

    S3.EP20: We Asked a 956 Movie Theatre Manager What Employees Wish You Knew

    We’ve been wanting to talk to people in different industries and work settings and pick their brains on what they wish the public knew about their jobs - in order to help us be more understanding with them and get a better idea of what things are really like for them behind the scenes.  Our first contestant for this conversation is Mr. Montez, an assistant manager at one of our local movie theatres here in the Valley. We wanted to ask him some “Is it true” type of questions and see if there’s anything that movie theater employees wish we knew. Are there things employees wish we never did? Are there things they wish we did do, but we don’t? Check out the episode and thanks for spending another week with us on The Rio Grande Podcast!  Huge thanks to Mr. Montez for joining and don’t forgot to subscribe to @TheRioGrandePodcast on YouTube! See ya next week #RioGrandePeeps! #RGV #956  Text us! Support the show
