It's cool to work at Disney, but contract hires are lower class
It's cool to work at Disney, but contract hires are lower class
- Great snack bar
- Cool events
- It's Disney and everyone knows the name
- Beautiful campus with cute ducks
- Good break in experience
- Management was terrible, and at times would flirt with contract hires.
- Contract hires could not participate in all events and discounts permanent employees received.
- Motivated contract employees with permanent positions like a carrot on a stick.
- Constant politics and run like a high school.
- Contract employees began to try to step over each other and fight for a permanent position.
- Seniors and managers would constantly be on phones and sites that aren't work-related.
- Hired people who had no experience at all with the subject worked on.
- Strict work policies that did not apply to those who enforced them.
- If you are good at flirting, you can get ahead.
- Keep people who know what they are doing.
- Keep people for bug quality, not so much the quantity.
- This is a professional workplace, not high school.
- Do not make false promises.
- Do not fire employees for project blunders and poor business decisions and ethics made by upper management; take responsibility for your own poor decisions.
