Sales Manager

Sales Manager (Current Employee)
Orlando, FL

I have been working at Disney full-time for more than 7 years

ProsThe Cast Member discounts on disney items and products is fantastic.

ConsNo upward mobility! Organizational lethargy - Cast Members who've worked at Disney for over ten years, never leave, and do not want to change with the times. This is a company where people go to retire.

Advice to Senior ManagementOut with old thinking and in with fresh ideas and people.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Best Company Ever Hands Down

Front Line Intern (Former Employee)

I worked at Disney as an intern for more than a year

ProsCompany 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.

ConsNo 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 ManagementContinue what you are doing

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

The Disney Club: hard to get into, but worth it.

Director (Former Employee)
Los Angeles, CA

I worked at Disney part-time for less than a year

ProsOnce 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.

ConsIt does feel like a clique, and you really do have to know someone within, maybe even several people to vet you.

Advice to Senior ManagementThey'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.

Disney College Program

Attractions Hostess (Current Employee)
Lake Buena Vista, FL

I have been working at Disney as an intern for less than a year

ProsIt is a paid internship and its a really fun one! You receive a fair amount of hours and you have access to seminars and classes while on your program.

ConsIt can be tough when the parks are packed and you constantly must talk to different people so if you are shy its not the job for you.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
