Pros

Its fun to work at because of the guest interaction experience and working with good people.

Cons

The leadership is a joke. The way managers are made are by attending some classes at Disney University. Most managers shouldn't be managers because they are disrespectful to their employees and are ultimately power hungry. Also, there are no benefits for part time, only full time. Even the pay is low. Cast members work hard to uphold Walt's legacy but aren't compensated that well. I think that's why there is a high turnover rate and they're always hiring.

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.
