Disneyland is the worst employer I've ever had. - Attractions Host Walt Disney Company Employee Review

Pros

The BEST reason to work at Disneyland is that SOME of the magic that Walt Disney created is still there. The guests are usually wonderful, and it's a special experience that you just can't reproduce elsewhere.

Cons

Management. Wages. Lack of respect from management. NO work/life balance. Disneyland has the worst management I've ever experienced. They treat the "Cast Members" (employees) as paid slaves, making you work outrageous hours (sometimes 60+ hours a week) during the summer months, then only 10+ hours a week during off-peak times. They offer benefits only if you can meet ridiculous off-peak "minimum hours worked" schedules, and to top it all off - you get paid $8-$10/hr - which isn't much in the off-peak season. And if you try to have a second job to support yourself, they won't work with YOUR schedule, they'll just fire you once you've "called out" too many times.

Pros

Amazing working life balance, company perks (including park access), benefits, great people to work with, company history, etc. PTOs are very flexible. And sometimes you get to enjoy new attractions first hand, before they are open to the public. Also teams get together in the parks occasionally. If you're working on site, they have great offices. I really enjoyed my time there.

Cons

It's huge corporate ecosystem, resulting in many layers of interactions and approvals for even simple things. If you're not a fan of complexes corporate environments, then maybe this ins't the right place for you. The salary are not very competitive, compared to the big techs, if you're working on site in Florida or remote. The salaries are better in CA if you're working on site to compensate the high cost of living in CA.
