Dark Side of Disney World

Описание: The Disney College Program is a sought-after internship that offers college students a chance to work and learn at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort. During the program, participants gain valuable skills in the entertainment industry, earn college credit, attend networking events, and develop personally and professionally. However, the program is highly competitive and challenging. Participants are expected to work long hours and adapt to a fast-paced and dynamic work environment. The program also requires participants to balance work responsibilities with academic coursework, which can be difficult to manage. Additionally, some participants face harassment and sometimes go without any help from management. Despite these challenges, the Disney College Program remains a unique and rewarding opportunity for college students who are passionate about the entertainment industry and willing to work hard to achieve their goals.
