Pros

None, unless you were there before the Disney family lost control.

Cons

A totally fake company that takes advantage of so many people. Before the pandemic, college kids were brought in and worked long hours. Their housing was taken out of their pay, and it was a ridiculous amount.

The image of the engineering group being innovative is also fake. Young engineers are brought in, and if they go along with everything, they have it made. Any engineer who has experience outside the company will find it difficult to advance. They are close-minded to technology that exists outside of the theme park world.

They claim to be inclusive, but that does not include conservative beliefs. After the pandemic, the training was even telling people what they could not say at work about who they were friends with. They claimed that proximity did not eliminate prejudice.

Advice to Management

Remember why Walt started the company. It was not about the bottom line; it was about the family.

You have too many people in leadership roles that do not have the experience in their field to be a good manager.

Stop the witch hunts for anyone that is not willing to sit by and be a doormat. Managers have too much control over a person's career. A manager can put anything in a review with no proof to back it up.
