Fun Internship
College Internship (Former Employee), Buena Vista, FL – May 3, 2013
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

It's a good summer job, it's a good place to work when you're in college, and it's good if you haven't gone to college for a steady job.
Cast Member (Current Employee), Buena Vista, FL – April 28, 2013
Pros: free park admission, promote from within, networking opportunities
Cons: typically low paying, there's a hardcore union mentality that doesn't always work in your favor, and it gets monotonous
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.

Pros: discounts
Cons: short breaks
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

JUST AMAZING
Fine Dining Server (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – April 8, 2013
Pros: benefits, job security, fun environment
Cons: management, upward mobility
Disney is an excellent company. They provide an amazing work environment and give employees an opportunity to make the guest experience amazing as well.

The only con to wokring for the company is the lack of upward mobility options. Often employees stay in one position through their entire career at WDW. I wanted a position with more professional opportunities – more... than serving. – less

Fun place to work but field work can be difficult to adjust to
Associate Software Engineer (Current Employee), Glendale, CA – April 4, 2013
Pros: friendly work environment
Cons: poor work/life balance during project field work
The most enjoyable part of would have to be visiting the parks and seeing people of all ages enjoy the hard work you have done. The hardest part would have to be field work. When the deadline to open an attraction is close, schedules get very tight and hours get longer.

Thanks for the review. Do you work for Disney Technology Solutions and Services (DTSS)? I was contacted by a Disney Recruiter for a position in Glendale for DTSS but not sure what the culture and environment is like. Your comments and rating definitely helps!
