Disney Consumer Products Employer Reviews

A lot of fun if you like kids as well as if your a Disney fan i grew up watching Disney movies so it was really nice to see the joy that it brings to the children in the store

awsome environment, everyone in good spirit in promoting product and keeping a positive attitude.

Typical day at work was only a few hours. Learned how to operate a computerized cash register, probably the only plus. Managment could have been better. Co-workers were helpful. The most irritating part of the job was switching from place to place constantly, no solid area for the day. The most enjoyable was stocking.

Managed various external customers to meet quarterly submission deadlines. Properly accounted for all revenue and accounts receivable. Supported finance with quarterly revenue forecasts.
Learned how to balance expectations and prioritize to meet deadlines. Learned basic management skills in writing reviews, coaching and developing.
Co-worker team was – more... supportive and team-focused
Hardest part of the job was managing the uncontrollables to meet forecasted projected
Most enjoyable part of the day was seeing the business operations side and knowing how my finance/accounting role played into it's success. – less

Daily interactions with customers, there was always something new to learn, and it was a really entertaining place to work. The management was really good about working around your schedule when you needed time off, my co-workers were always ready to step up and help when needed. The hardest part was really just trying to balance time between working – more... the register and the floor. I really enjoyed going to work everyday because it was an environment where your inner child could shine through and have a good time. – less

Responsibilites of store operations were my objective daily. I learned to manage multiple employees with different personalities. Management was very detailed and had high expectations. My coworkers and assistant manager were great to work with and worked well as a team. The hardest part of the job was being the youngest manager in a franchise operation – more... of 7 stores. Dealing with regular and new customers was one of the best parts of my job. – less

As a manager with the Disney Store my responsibilities include customer service and guest assistance while shopping. It is my responsibility to make sure that every guest has a positive experience from the moment they enter our store by providing guests with an entertaining, fun and dynamic shopping experience. I assist guests from the beginning of – more... their shopping experience with personalized guest service, balancing multiple guests at a time, adapt to the changing needs of our guests while maintaining a high level of customer service with guests. Check-out guests at the registers, and answering any and all questions in person and also on the phone.

As a manager it is my responsibility to reach our sales goals for each hour, and also to keep our store on track to reach our sales goals for that particular day. My duties also include making sure my sales team is aware of where we are currently in sales throughout the day, and advise them on ways we can help increase our sales. It is also my responsibility as a manager to identify what needs to be done in our store, from opening to closing, to set priorities to make sure these tasks are completed, and to manage my time effectively and efficiently. I am also responsible for the training of new cast members (employees), in sales, as well as register training.

The most enjoyable part of my job with the Disney Store has been to see my cast members grow both personally and professionally. Also it has been a joy of mine to watch families who were just starting out when I did now come into the store years later and their family has grown and I have been able to be a part of watching their family grow and watching their children grow up. – less

DCP is an excellent company to work for whether you're beginning your career or you are a veteran. The company and its divisions has a sense of loyalty and dignity about it that encourages you to work diligently work for the brand and seek out high expectations.

I would work for them at anytime in my career again.

• Fun Creative Environment
• Days start around 9:30am and end around 6:00
• Management tends to be very people oriented
• Great co-workers

Clocking in and putting on our costumes before going on stage. on stage we help every guest with a smile. made sure that all the kids had the best 30 minutes of their day.

I loved working for Disney! I was so sad when they went out of bussines.. We had tons of fun with all the Disney items and the team was excellent! Seeing the kids faces light up when they walked in the store was the best!
It was hard work but If you loved what you sold it made it tons of fun!

Fun company to work for but hard to advance into higher tiers of management.

Great values. Organized. Busy. They didn't really take the time to train us but it was ok. Its a very friendly, very clean enviroment. A lot of restrictions on things though- jewelry, fingernail polish, fingernail length, etc.

it was fun to work around disney items all day the people were fun and cheery.

I enjoyed my time working at the Disney Store. Unfortunately the store that I worked at closed. If the store had not closed then I would probably still be there today.

You will leave everyday smiling. A wonderful manager staff.

An amazing company and brand. A very competitive environment. An impressive pool of talented individuals who are inspiring as well as talented.

Was a great place to work, we were a family who took pride in our work and our products. We had a open door policy and everyone got along. We were a team not just co-workers

Sell Disney products to customers. Stock shelves with incoming merchandise.

DCP is a great place to work!! Unfortunately I was laid-off. There have been a lot of organizational changes since, with the Marvel merge. They laid-off a lot of the VPs, Director's, and higher managers in the Toys/Creative group. Really sad.

They now solely depend on an internal group to manage all of DCP branding content (packaging guide development – more... & licensor approvals) vs. product specific teams (ie. home vs toy vs fashion). Its a whole new 'system'.

I did manage a large bulk of Toy categories & had a great experience as a licensor-- also had the opportunity to travel around the country. But with the changes, I hear those "fun days" are over.

While there, it seemed like there was a lot of career opportunity to grow. The creative & marketing teams work well together. They really encourage 'thinking out of the box' & team brainstorming as a creative process. People are very conceptual in design.

It can also be high stressed with the amount of work & projects each person is responsible for. I managed branding/packaging approvals for over 60 licensees. I felt like I had the job of 3 people-- in which I did! Since the previous 2 people that held my position had quit.

Like any corporation there is politics & ego. If you have great people skills & know 'how to talk' you will get noticed. It can be very cliquish.

Dream Job but company will let you go to make 'shareholders happy'. This is the history of the Walt Disney Company. – less
