Disney Reviews in Burbank, CA

Current Employee – been working at Disney as an intern for more than a year

Pros – I've been really fortunate to work on some great projects ranging from small scale employee-only events in Burbank to large scale projects at the Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World. Being able to continue the tradition of making memories for younger generations is the best part.

Cons – I think that interns, like full-time employees, should be eligible for a Silver Pass that allows them to visit the Disney Parks as a benefit for long work weeks rather than the limited number of complimentary tickets.

Pros – People are very patient and friendly when you are first learning how to do the job. It's the "pixie dust" - everyone's very cheerful and helpful, while at the same time very talented at what they do.

Cons – Hard to move up in the system. From what I hear, they keep many employees as part-time and don't hire them full-time.
