Pros

Energetic work environment Free tickets for friends and family Free employee previews to new restaurants and attractions

Cons

Working HR at the Hollywood theme park has been a nightmare. Instead of managing employees, you are babysitting juveniles on behaving with common sense. There are too many strict, totalitarian policies like point deductions for minor infractions prevents employees from doing their jobs effectively. There is a lack of engagement from senior management who shuns progressive HR ideas in favor of out-dated bureaucratic processes. I don't just speak for myself when over half of the HR staff has turned over in the past 2 years for those same reasons and will continue to do so until management improves the culture.

Pros

Free park access if that’s what you or your family like to do regularly.

Cons

Very large and slow moving organization that has an odd promotion/performance review process. This is a place where people come to work 9-5, take hour lunches, and place the corporate process of staying 10+ years hoping for a promotion opportunity and not work hard.
