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.

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.
