Great experience. Tough environment.

Pros

Great brands, good employee base, decent benefits, fun product, big enough to move into other areas of the company for advancement.

Cons

Very political environment so you need to know who you can trust and who to be wary of. If you can negotiate those details, and have tough skin to take direct criticism, then it's not all bad. Would not look at this as a long-term oppty. Probably less than 5 years and you'll burn out.

Pros

Fun place to work, good benefits and meet a diversity of people.

Cons

I am very concerned that for a company who places such importance on their values, they are allowing sexual harassment to be tolerated within the attractions department. I have had multiple interactions with my supervisor that were less than appropriate on their behalf both verbally and physically. I have shared my concerns with HR and was given lengthy questioning about this. However, it has been several weeks since and my supervisor continues the same behavior. I am not the only one who has been approached by this supervisor as other female team members have had similar interactions and voiced their concerns. Apparently, this has been a common thread with this individual supervisor for more than a year and yet nothing has been done and this individual continues their actions and is valued as one of the best leaders amongst fellow supervisors. How is this possible? This is complete negligence and something needs to be done immediately! I am not comfortable working with a leader nor company which allows this type of behavior.

Pros

Universal Studios in an exciting and dynamic environment. One encounters many interesting people on the lot and is exposed to all facets of the entertainment industry. Starting at the administrative assistant level provides contact with a wide range of co-workers and executives. This contact often functions as an "audition" and sometimes leads to advancement within the organization. Most employees love their jobs, which contributes to an upbeat and positive workplace. Some of the most cherished benefits are access to screenings of new films and events on the lot, although these are no longer as available as they were at one time. All in all, a great place to work.

Cons

Wages are typical of corporate environments.
