The Walt Disney Company Employer Reviews

A typical day at work can go from relaxed to stressful within seconds. My job in particular is to cater to costumed characters' needs. That are not a very thankful group of people. The entertainment department is referred to as Disney High because that is the level of maturity 90% of the time. The hardest part of the job is dealing with the people who – more... go out of their way to make things difficult. The most enjoyable part is seeing happy guests watch a successful show. – less

loved working here. Everyday was a blast, enjoyed every day at work

Working at the Disneyland Resort taught me many things; how to properly guest service, patience, and work life balance. As one might imagine working at the "Happiest Place on Earth" is VERY focused on guest servicing. The guest is always right and it is important to go out of your way to make sure they leave happy. Management here is very attentive – more... to their cast members and I liked that. The biggest challenge I faced at this job was a work life balance. While working at the Resort I learned that whatever problems you are facing outside of work cannot be visible once you are on stage because it affects not only how you service your guests but their perception of the Resort. If the cast member is not happy it shows and that is unacceptable. Overall working at the Disneyland Resort was a great learning experience for my life at the time. – less

The days are 12 hours and we learned about rail cars.The management has been fantastic as far as delivering material and supplying tool and equipment.The wok was at an old Railyard and came with its share of hazards.How satisfying to know that the wok you do will be seen by everyone watching The Lone Ranger movie.

The Disney company is just so magical. I come to work with a smile on my face and end it with a smile n my face. You learn a lot about other people and how parents raise their children. The hardest part about my job is knowing that the pay isn't enough, and my body can break easily in my costumes. The most enjoyable part of my job is making magic and – more... knowing that I made many people happier than before they met me. – less

Stayed connected with the company by promoting the internship to other college students.

They are an amazing company to work for if you like Disney. Benefits are great for full time employees. They pay can be low but it more than balances itself out with the fun and rewards from working at Disneyland. Not only getting to be in the park to make the guest experience a more magical thing, but also the benefits of being able to come into the – more... park as a guest whenever you like. – less

A wonderful place to work, everyday you'll feel like a kid. A typical day is fun, and full of new guest that you get to make feel like a star. Being able to get on little guest level and watch as they experience everything for the first time is the best part of the job.

I loved working at Walt Disney World for the Walt Disney Company. I absolutely adored my managers, I had plenty of consistent hours, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. While working there, you get to see new people every day. I enjoyed meeting new people and getting to know some families.

I highly urge all young creative people to look into working for the Walt Disney Company. It can become a life career with great rewards.

I loved working with my team. Managers were always willing to teach you and let you lead. The hardest part of the job was handling the weather but overall making dreams come true was something I loved waking up to every day.

It is a great place to work. Full of wonderful people.
I wish I never left my job!

They tend to remind you that you are replaceable. Not too great if you are in school because they have mandatory availability during your finals which makes things more hectic.

Disney is a magical place to work. I've worked on several of the Parks and Resorts applications. The people at Disney are great to work with and provides a fun place to work.

I loved working for Disney. It gave me wonder friends and wonderful experiences I will cherish forever.

Disney is a fun job to have if you don't expect much from them in reference to salary and hours offered. I enjoyed my job there but I could not afford to dedicate all my time to them, which was required, if they could not insure that I have a certain amount of hours per week. The pay is very low for the level of responsability. The interaction with – more... the guests and other Cast Members is what makes working for them worth it. I loved the experience and would work for them under different circumstances. – less

I have worked at Disney going on 15 years. I have learned everything I know. My management at the moment is the best! Co-workers are friendly. Very family and lots of events to invite your loved ones.

I think it all depends on what your job title for you to like working here. Some positions could get boring while others never have a dull moment.
