Pros
- Great Exposure: you'll see a lot, do a lot, meet important people, and gain experience. - Fun & Exciting Content: If you're a fan, working with your favorite characters is a dream come true. - Disney Perks: discounts on merch and park access! - 4% match contribution to your 401K - A not 100% guaranteed arbitrary "bonus" based on sale profits at the end of the year.
Cons
- Sink or Swim environment. - Tiny cubicle space: if you want an office, you'll need to be at director level or above, and even then, you may have to share. - Cheap: Be prepared to buy your own office supplies and brew your own caffeine. (It's gotten better, but at one Christmas, our company 'party' consisted of pizza from Costco and warm soda in 2L bottles that we had to bring our own cup to in order to share.) - Little room for growth or movement between departments. There is a tendency to hire outside vs promote from within. - Parking: surprisingly, not guaranteed. You might have to take a shuttle or walk a few blocks. - Pay tends to be on the lower end comparatively speaking, across the board.
