Former Employee – worked at Disney as an intern for more than a year
Pros – Company provides opportunities to grow through internship opportunities which allows you to network through the company. The harder you work the better your opportunities with Disney. It is a very collaborative environment which makes you feel like family while having a successful career at the same time. I plan to return soon now that my Masters degree is complete and skies the limit. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Cons – No negative cons at all, as long as you work hard and play hard you will succeed in this company. Strong work ethic and commitment is key.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue what you are doing
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Current Employee – been working at Disney as a contractor
Pros – Great people, lots of culture, decent pay. Somewhat flexible with the scheduling of days.
Cons – Expect to work on holidays. However, most companies expect this nowadays, so no surprise there.
Advice to Senior Management – Remember very day what happens on the ground floor. Decisions that make perfect sense on paper (and I am sure that they do) do not always work on the ground
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Disney full-time for more than 7 years
Pros – Great benefits and theme park perks. Fun working environment and supportive leaders. You can basically write your own ticket within the company because it is so diverse.
Cons – You must come from outside the company or leave and come back in order to make a decent salary. Senior leaders will openly admit this.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

Former Employee – worked at Disney part-time for less than a year
Pros – Once you're in, the Disney family is very loyal. No one ever leaves because they are so happy there--like Disney Land. Promotions are slow to come but they do.
Cons – It does feel like a clique, and you really do have to know someone within, maybe even several people to vet you.
Advice to Senior Management – They're doing a great job. The networking aspect of garnering a position is just part of the industry. But, for an outsider...it's near impossible to secure a position of any merit.
