"I worked at Disney for two short back-to-back contracts as a Senior Technical Writer/Business Analyst Consultant. It was, by far, the most fulfilling and enjoyable role of my career. I enjoyed the work, the boss, the team, the creativity, the cooperation, the wonderful, up-beat culture -- everything. I cannot say enough good things about my consulting work at Disney. Unfortunately, budget prevented me from coming on board as a permanent employee and/or extending the contracts. I love Disney!"

Walt Disney World Employee

What do you like about working at Walt Disney World?

"It is ever changing and the guests keep us on our toes! I sometimes wish it was a little more cast friendly like it used to be. But, I also realize that times change and we have to change with them."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

What don't you like about working at Walt Disney World?

"The cast is not appreciated like they used to be. If guests complain, management takes their side, more often than listening to the cast member. And there are many cast members who don't know how to work out conflicts and the current system for conflict resolution is no help. It enables those that want to tear down people to boost themselves up."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would want the company to move forward and yet still take time for the cast. I want my cast to know that I appreciate them and I realize that they are the ones who make me look good!"
