Pros

Great people, great projects.

People are passionate about the brand.

Cons

An announced move of most California staff to Orlando has shut down many careers. Most folks don't want to relocate, so they will leave.

The company does not care about people, only pleasing investors. This will take 4+ years to return to normal at least.

Benefits like park access are very hard to utilize now. Pay is below standard for most technical jobs.

Advice to Management

Stop trying so hard to cut corners. Many long-timers will leave, and so will experience. The furloughs, layoffs, and now the relocation to Florida are very stressful for cast members. Show some compassion and don't make so many painful decisions during a pandemic.
