Pros

Actively hiring company with Disney perks, above average 401k plan and free snacks/drinks in the kitchen. Launching of Disney+ and ESPN+ are major priorities of the entire Disney organization, so a bright spotlight is on Disney Streaming offices

Cons

Lack of advancement opportunities, career development, raises, and communication from senior leadership. Notoriously known for paying employees well below market value while medical benefits are being updated to take more money out of paychecks. Heavy reliance on part-time employees who are deliberately kept to 28 hours a week in order to avoid providing them benefits. Even heavier reliance on "full time" employees who receive low hourly pay rather than a salary. Need to reach coordinator level in oder to reach full time/salaried employment status.

Pros

Free passes to the parks and discount in the stores.

Cons

Management is disorganized, and the workplace culture is consistently challenging. Frequent organizational changes are introduced with little communication or clarity about the path forward, creating uncertainty and frustration. While some teams provide a better experience than others, a toxic environment is prevalent across much of the organization. Rather than investing in employee growth, development, and internal advancement, the culture often feels focused on limiting employees' potential instead of empowering them to succeed.
