Good overall culture but at a cost

Marketing manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Feels very stable compared to other media/movie studios in the industry. The company culture and HR team have been great.

Cons

There's a lot of dead weight at the company who have been here a long time. They stay because of the culture and stability which makes sense but for anyone below them, this can make it really challenging to grow your career when the people above you don't share the same ambition.

Park pass, discounts, and employee walk throughs

Cons

Toxic, unprofessional managers. Tiered system lwaving many employees without same benefits as others. Cost cutting measures impact hours, operations, and guest experience.
