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

Company cares and values its employees. There are many resources, events, and paths for individuals to learn and grow. This is a great place to get a solid footing and start.

Cons

Very difficult to move up as there are many people trying to work for the Resort. There is ample competition for positions and you need to work hard to move to a professional position outside of park operations.
