I am doing some research on amusement park careers at the moment and have a couple of questions specific to the Disneyland Resort theme parks.
I would like to know how fast do employees move up the ranks at Disneyland Park or Disney's California Adventure. Basically, how fast do people move from an hourly part-time cast member to a full-time salaried manager? How long on average does it take? It is imporant that you detail it to the point of a full time salaried position.
Now the person I want you to estimate this time for would have a college degree and possibly be eligible already to hire in for a management position. Basically, they have some experience already. So they're already far ahead of your typical teenage worker.
Please respond with some scenarios for this type of person including the number of months/years it would take and in which area you're talking about like outdoor vending, attractions, guest relations, admissions, retail, etc. If you can detail the estimated time for the different leaps like from regular cast member to trainer or lead then to manager I would appreciate it.
I am compiling this information for a survey comparing the different theme parks and how fast people move through the ranks. The information will be used to write an article for people graduating from college who want to pursue careers in amusement park management. PLEASE do not provide actual names of people. Also, you won't be quoted and you won't be my only source.
Thank you in advance for your response if you can provide one.
