Pros

*Free entrance to Disneyland Parks *Looks good on resume *Worked with a few exceptional, terrific and talented people

Cons

*Turnover rate of "CTs" (Casual Temporary/Seasonal employees) is very high in this department. *Job description was misleading. It was described as a creative position, but it is primarily warehouse/assembly work. There is nothing wrong with that, but it is not what I was led to believe I was hired to do. *There is almost no chance of advancement, so there isn't much to keep employees motivated. It's a dead end for most. *Poor work/life balance. The working hours are either very early (4am or 5am start time) or very late (10pm or 12am start time). *It took nearly a year to receive overtime that was owed to several CT/Seasonal employees. This was after the employees' union stepped in and met with Disney's lawyers. *Department managers are unhelpful and hard to reach.

Pros

-Benefits are amazing. All kinds of benefits. -Work environment is really good. I felt like everyone is nice to you, including both coworkers and managers.- -Working shifts is flexible since there's the chance to swap shifts with coworkers. -Growth opportunity is big. You can work your way up to work even in the corporate side or swap departments too.

Cons

I don't see cons to be honest.

Pros

Strong teamwork, clear operating procedures, good benefits, and opportunities to learn in a fast-paced environment. The job has helped me build reliability, communication, safety awareness, and the ability to handle changing priorities.

Cons

Workloads can become demanding during busy periods, schedules may change, and the fast pace requires constant attention and flexibility.
