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

"I saw some inefficient use/waste of budget in a few departments. Once a department had one bad apple manager (tyrant or didn't know their job or didn't have managing experience), those same managers would hire similar types. Pay - Disney doesn't have to pay competitively since everyone wants to work there. (It's very tough to get in! HR receives over 700 resumes for each job position, per HR). I did not have a bad experience at Disney, but these were my observations of things happening around us."

"I'd remind them to interview carefully and ask the right questions, or look around them to promote from within. Hire hard working people with a true work ethic and good people skills. Make sure management is put in place who knows how to MANAGE and knows how to gain the trust and respect of the people. Teamwork can help a company soar. The lack of teamwork and integrity can make a company sink."
