Well, who doesn't like to work for Mickey and Minnie? The properties are great and have a huge legacy behind. I knew my position was not going to be a challenging one, but it motivates me to work for one of the most recognized brands of the world. The hardest part of the job was understanding I had to develop a low profile position and making the decision – more... to leave and look for a more challenging position with great growth opportunities. – less

Great family culture. Nice people. Best marketing staff in the country.

A typical day at work would be taking thousands of pictures a day of many different people. You learn a lot about tolerance and a lot about people being that there are so many different kinds of people from all over the world. All 20,000 cast members work as a team. The hardest part about the job is trying to maintain your character on stage when you're – more... greeted by a Make A Wish child or adult. The best part of working at Disney is making magic. – less

low wages, stick around because of good people who you work with

As a somewhat lowly employee, my job was daily maintenance of two reporting dashboards as well as responding to any custom reporting requests on the queue. Of my two managers I had during my tenure, one was phenomenal and one was merely great. My coworkers were all very, very, VERY intelligent and kept a good level of activity without burning up on – more... lots of needless high priority but low importance work. The learning curve is a firehose, but if you master it you'll come away with a high level of knowledge and competence in whatever field you're working in- I feel like I'm very qualified to handle most aspects of the ad operations chain now. – less

A typical day for me was alternating between driving boats while spieling a script and land postions which included loading and unloading guests, greeting, and deciding the amount of people on each vehicle using simple math. I gained the ability to talk in front of crowds with confidence and stay calm under high pressure situations. Management was mostly – more... good with exceptions of course. I liked everyone i worked with, friendly and outgoing people. The hardest part about my job was working outdoors, its really humid in the summer but i didn't really mind it. the most enjoyable part of my job were the people. whether it was the people im working with or the guests i meet along the way. – less

The work environment at ABC (division of Disney) was superb. Management was friendly, there was a good sense of team and friendship among co-workers. Management, while insistent upon quality and quantity of work, was not overbearing and in fact was concerned with the well-being of the employees and team-building.

Working for disney was an experience of a lifetime! I did not like working weekends and nights. I met a ton of people from all over. I would check out merchandise for guest and do inventory. I also closed out the register

Daily guest interaction from people all over the world. I work when everybody else gets to play. Making smiles.

A typical day at work could start at any given time as scheduling is not always consistent. Typically shifts are eight hours, five days a week, but that could range in any direction. Many times you are interacting with hundreds of guest or cast members whether it be face to face or over the phone.

Disney provides excellent resources for learning and career exploration. If I had decided to continue working in advertising sales, I would definitely continue on in the company.

Very professional enviornment. Networking across the various segments of the company is a plus.

I LOVED work with Walt Disney World. Not only was it the happiest place on Earth, it also made me the happiest person on Earth!!

im cashiers, guess relation, inventory, stockers o whatever they need

I love working for Disney. I learned how to sew. A typical work day consisted of working for 8-10hrs a day. Sometime we would have 12hr days. The people at Disney were friendly and pleasant to work with. The supervisors were great!! The best part of my work day would have to be interacting with the people there. The hardest part of my job would had – more... to been redoing the thread on the sewing machine. – less

I really enjoyed my department, my coworkers and managers were patient and really wanted to make me feel apart of the team. My manager was supportive of intern activities and open to negotiating my working ours.
