Working for TWDC is similar to real-estate: it is all about LOCATION. I worked at 3 separate locations at Walt Disney World Parks and Resorts in Florida and the first 2 were absolutely AMAZING. Loved them, the people, the engagement, the support from management, the learning opportunities & the growth I saw in myself. The third location (All Star Resorts) was absolute hell. I do not say this lightly. I was warned to not take the job but thought that I could make it work. I served 16 months and I developed massive depression, anxiety & my health suffered all around. It was not uncommon to see managers rage crying in their cars or offices. The issue is that as everything is only focused on money, there are certain areas that are the "work horses" & pressure is put on them to work harder, longer, MORE, even if it is killing the cast members; which it is.
Taking the job with the company was a great decision for the first 2 locations. I FULLY regret accepting the promotion to All Star.

This is a good company to work for with amazing experiences and amazing opportunities. However, you must be prepared to be let go at anytime. Some positions can last for many many years, and some are temporary. You can progress and move up if you really do show initiative, but that doesn't necessarily secure your position. There are great benefits and most of the positions pay well. You will have to work a lot of hours and holidays, but if you enjoy making the magic it won't affect you.
My time with Walt Disney world has forever changed my life. The Walt Disney company treats its cast members equally and with respect. The people I worked with loved working at Disney making the work environment much more positive. Disney put a effort towards team building and working together meaning there was always someone available to assist when needed. During my time at Disney a recognition program was in place that would give recognition to cast members who went above and beyond, because of this it was common for cast members to go beyond what was expected of them.
