Pros

- Disney tickets - Merged with National Geographic Live so you might get a chance to work on an interesting National Geographic project

Cons

- Bungling leadership - Toxic positivity drowns out any chance of improvement - Leadership dismissive to criticism - Drab office - Constant employee turnover - Directionless and visionless - On the verge of irrelevance - Only "yes people" succeed here - Nearly every leader is unqualified for their job - Every person from top to bottom is set up to fail

Executive & Director level Leadership

Pros

It is an amazing business with passionate cast members who create and execute culture transformative solutions for their clients.

Cons

Executive and Director level leadership does not live the values that Disney Institute communicates. They continue to lose valued Cast Members because of the lack of trust and care exhibited by Leadership. In other words, they do not 'walk the talk'. It becomes more difficult everyday to advise clients and give examples of Disney best practices when they are not part of the reality at Disney Institute.
