Great work environment, many benefits, growth opportunities, recommend corporate or specialty for longterm.
Concierge (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – February 5, 2013
Working at Disneyland Resort while finishing bachelor's degree. Excellent opportunity, very flexible low stress environment. Co-workers are fantastic, most managers easy to work with and eager to promote advancement within the department.
The most difficult part of this particular job is the paycheck. However, in looking at the bright side, this is – more... a shortterm solution and great "foot in the door" opportunity.
Disney has an incredible amount of training and resources for career development for those who have the time and determination to set their own course and manage their own careers and success! – less

Job Training, work environment, and exposure are outstanding
Disney's Guest Connection Representative (Current Employee), Orlando, FL – February 1, 2013
Pros: medical benefits is a-one and medical facilities are easily accessible and very reasonable.
Cons: short breaks. some customers are downright difficult.
The work is in a controlled environment. We were all trained to learn all the routes and directions that lead to and from Disney, parks and resorts' schedules, bookings and registrations, management of customers' issues with care and patience. Management and co-workers are very helpful and supportive. communicating with customers is the most enjoyable – more... yet at the same time the hardest to deal with. – less

Keeps the magic alive
College Internship (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – January 27, 2013
Pros: acess to parks, being apart of the magic
Cons: long hours
Working for the Walt Disney World Resorts and Parks was the best experience of my life. If you have ever been you completely understand that there is magic in everything Disney touches. If you have never been to Disney then I strongly encourage you to get some of this magic in your life. You will not regret a family trip to the resorts and parks.

A day as a Lead
Working Lead (Current Employee), Anaheim, CA – January 20, 2013
Supervise 8-15 Employees and manage breaks. Train and update each employee each day.

I've learned how to adapt to all types of situations quickly and effectively. How to develop employees to move up within the company. How to delegate responsibilities among other leaders to make for an efficient and productive work group. How to deal with all different – more... types of employees and customers. The hardest part is also the most enjoyable part, which is that everyday can be something different. A new problem needs a new solution to solve. – less

Not Your Father's Disney
Marketing Manager, Group & Disney Institute (Former Employee), Lake Buena Vista, FL – January 15, 2013
Pros: park passes, being part of the magic
Cons: soulless corporate machine
Worked with many fine cast members. Long-time tenured members fondly remember the 'good old days' when the company valued talent and wasn't squeezing the pennies and life out of everyone. No special fun at Disney except Park Passes are a nice benefit. Definitely a large company culture, where everyone is a cog and disposable.

Productive and Patience
Character Attendant (Former Employee), Orlando, FL – January 14, 2013
Most of my day was people yelling at me because the line was closed so you had to remain calm with a smile on your face. I learned how to treat customers when they are screaming at the top of their lungs. Management was great and responded well in this kinds of situations. My coworkers were like family. Had to see little one crying but it was part of – more... the job. When a manager comes up and tells you did a great job and hands you a card that goes on your record for a job well done. – less
