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.
