The Walt Disney Company

Working at Disney was my dream job. Unfortunately, the reality was very different for me than my expectations of days spent creating magic for a new generation. I found a company stuck in the past, with no clear vision of how to effectively move forward. Long-time employees are desperate to maintain the status quo and newcomers are afraid to say anything for fear of being fired.

Great opportunity to learn from some of the best in the business. Excellent experience negotiating at the highest level. Premium brand management and strategy is a major focus. Includes the best fringe benefits of any job you could find including free park passes and big discounts on merchandise and resort stays.

Disney just has it’s magic. Its incredible how much coordination it takes to keep the parks going everyday. Disney is always looking for new ways to improve.

This work environment was extremely covertly hostile. You have to be extremely careful on everything you say or do as it is scrutinized.

It’s all about illusions at Disneyland. The entire business is a show set- inside and out. The powers that be promise you shiny things and never deliver. Don’t expect much in terms of job growth and career development. The only way one moves up is if someone else dies, retires, or leaves. You cannot progress past certain levels unless you’re well liked in Florida and work a stretch there first. The whole company is based on nepotism and a good-ol-boys club. They preach a message of progressive and inclusive values, but the real operating qualities are the exact opposite.

Excited to share disney magic love and positivity. Seeing people smile and making them feel like if they're at the park , also bringing a little bit of Disneyland theme parks to the store was a huge success.
