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."

The lack of teamwork and integrity can make a company sink."
