Great company; scheduling sucks

Food service worker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great company to work for because its so recognizable, and the benefits include park entry & discounts on a LOT of stuff. Great for students that need a part time job. Training is really thorough and you're definitely well prepared for the job.

Cons

Scheduling is very difficult to work with. Need to have all weekends and holiday seasons available. Only receive the schedule two weeks at a time, and seniority matters a lot.

It's a Mixed Bag

Entertainment stage technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-You work at DISNEYLAND!! You get to brag to family, friends, etc. -Perks include 20-35% merch discount, and free sign in admissions, 16x a year, up to 3 guests per visit. - You get to see cool behind-the scenes (but for the most part, it's really gross or full of garbage) - Get to set up for cool seasonal, private parties, or Halloween/Christmas. - If you're lucky, you can meet some cool friends. - As a stage technician, you are not technically a "guest facing" role, which is nice because you generally don't have to put up with rude park guests. - Pay as a stage technician is pretty good, other roles like attractions, custodial, etc. are paid way below the cost of living in Anaheim.

Cons

- BOB CHAPEK - RUDE GUESTS. - Crummy coworkers who have been there for 5 years or 25 years, jaded, grumpy, rude. Out to get you and will definitely try to stab you in the back or throw you under the bus if they can. -Th - The company DOES NOT care about you. - You think you get to do creative things as a tech, but you are the grunt. You are not a lighting or audio designer, you are the monkey that lifts the heavy lights and plugs them in. But again, they pay you decently, so, eh? - Almost all management are snakes, don't trust them. -You do not get benefits or guaranteed hours unless you are Full Time. You generally hire in as seasonal or part time, and it takes 3-5 years to get full time status.

Poor management

Guest services assistant manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Admission to parks, discounts on hire reservations, and great entry level position.

Cons

Management has no people skills, they make you stay longer when people call out, they schedule you for 2 days a week but expect you to come in when people call out, and the environment is very toxic. Existing cast members do not help you adjust to your role because they are underpaid and they also aren’t sure if you will last with the company.
