      Pros

      They are a very friendly and understanding company who actually cares about their employees

      Cons

      As a part time worker, they don't schedule you almost ever, so in order to work you need to be on the facebook group asking coworkers for shifts.

        Business Outlook

        Pros

        The supervisors are professional, but also the kindest people I have ever worked under. I can't say enough good things about them or the people I worked with. Working at Hollywood Studios, Custodial was certainly not glamorous but the environment couldn't be more enjoyable. The buildings, the decor, the streets at night... magnificent. I loved it! Pay is also very good!!

        Cons

        The heat is the only major con. Coming from the far North, working outside was very difficult. Hard to breath and I ended up getting extremely ill. Hence, the reason I no longer work there. But if you can handle heat - a custodial position is great.

          Business Outlook

          Pros

          My favorite reason for working here are the benefits. I enjoy the vacation pay, health insurance, and retirement options. They just added 401k along with current pension plan. I also had my college expenses paid for and graduated with a Bachelors degree with the intent to also get my MBA. I love that it’s not costing me anything.

          Cons

          Working in a store is not terrible but can be boring. But any job that is not in my career field would feel boring. My advice is to enjoy the small interaction and soak in all the opportunities. I think it’s a fair trade of benefits for having a boring job.

                  Pros

                  This is hands down the best fast paced photography experience you can get! I don't think there is any other photographer job position in the world were you'll take more pictures every single day. You will learn a lot skills that will help you gather experience in different types of photography like family, headshots, couples, product, sports, etc.. You will also gain lots of experience in guest relations, and will have the opportunity to work in different areas around the resort.

                  Cons

                  It is physically demanding, and many times it requires working under harsh weather conditions like extreme heat or rain.

                      Administrative Assistant

                      Gave two interviews recently and got a feedback that I wasn’t able to explain my role as effectively, because of which I won’t be able to transition as fast into a fast-paced environment. I have worked in one small firm and one small-mid firm, and I personally feel I am ready to take up more responsibilities and move to a bigger firm for more exposure. Not sure how else I can explain my roles effectively, even after walking them through everything, how am I supposed to utilise this feedback?

                      Im really interested in applying for Walmart but I'm not interested in the bs that comes along with it. Especially when nowadays the difference between poverty & not living on the streets is a full-time job (If you're lucky) 🥴🥴

                      Front Desk Supervisor

                      What are hiring managers looking for?? I have had so many interviews and have not gotten the job! I have literally had the people I’ve interviewed with tell me that I was a shoo in for the job, invite me to tour the facilities, and give incredibly positive feedback but I haven’t gotten the jobs. I’m so frustrated because I need to get out of my current job situation asap but have had ZERO luck.
