Pros

Powerful brand with great recognition Perks are great since joining hands with Disney Work life balance depends on your Manager Great coworkers (depends on your department)

Cons

No growth because it's based on who you know. Yes they encourage you to apply in-house but it's favoritism and politics. If you are in the NY office be prepared to be treated like step children compared to Bristol campus. Bristol gets everything ESPN while you feel left out Imbalance in work load. Some employees get away with a lot and again it boils down to favoritism. Diversity can be worked on a bit more especially with minorities

Pros

Decent pay, lots of exposure, good benefits

Cons

As an associate operator, you have zero control over your career path. They will put you in whatever group they need, regardless of what you want. Also, there is absolutely no work-life balance. There's a high probability you will work overnights with Tuesday-Wednesday off. You essentially have to sacrifice your social and family life for years if you want to get anywhere.
