Walt Disney World Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"Great company, and great people."

"Decent work environment, interesting events and offerings to work on, overall inexperienced workforce. Performance standards and expectations of techs are often low. Gear is largely new and industry standard. Good relationship with management, hard to get in trouble for anything. Overtime is available if desired."

"I have worked for Disney since 2006. I have enjoyed my time with the company but there has been a lot of transition within the Director and CIO positions which has resulted in a lot of changes including restructuring of the IT multiple times. This means a lot of uncertainty. Often a new Director or CIO comes in and outsources a lot of the jobs. After almost 9 years it can be quite frustrating and the latest round of outsourcing and layoffs has left me without a job."

"I have worked at the company for over 17 years and in the IT department I have seen more outsourcing and degrade of service. I am hopeful that this gets turned around and work is as expected."

"Worked for WDPRO for 3 years, very fun environment and good people."

"Very little room for advancement. You are better off leaving and returning. Many people hired in with less experience. Org management needs serious help. I report to people who have no technical understanding of what I do. No resources or training. You must be a Disney fan, that is the only motivation I have."

"Truly where the magic happens."

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

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would let my cast know that they are appreciated! I would reward them for a job well done and recognize their skills and abilities. I would encourage them to find new solutions and reward them for their achievements!"

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

"Make sure you smile a lot. Also, being upbeat and highlighting your strengths is always a good plan. Tie in childhood memories of Mickey and the gang and your dreams and goals!!"

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!"
