      Pros

      Free admission, great benefits for full time, cast member previews on rides before they release to the public

      Cons

      Depending where you are, you can have the greatest leadership or the not so great. The pay is not keeping up with inflation causing many of us cast member to be borderline or at poverty. The culture in my opinion is not there anymore. Long hours because scheduling won’t cooperate with your bid ( I was pretty up in my seniority)

        Pros

        nothing- you work long hours and are completely disrespected by everyone from producers to actors to other costumers.

        Cons

        There is nothing I can say that is good about this job or industry

      Thoughts on feedback you’ve gotten during the interview process? I know feedback is rare to get but of the few times you’ve gotten it, do you agree or disagree with it? Does specific feedback make if feel better or worse than general ‘not selected’? I’m pretty open to feedback . gotten feedback I understand (not senior enough, no enough hands on experience) and others I dislike/disagreed with , decided I was better off without the company since we didn’t align
