What's your wage?

Post by Anthony » Sat May 14, 2005 9:35 pm

I'm curious what the wages for the different roles are.

I'm a Ticket Taker, CR and I get $7.83

Last year I was an Outdoor Vendor, CT and got $7.40 but that's probably changed by now.

Hotel Front Desk 9.76 for the first year... after 1 year 9.96, next bump up is after 5 years.

Lead gets an extra $1 per hour from their standard wage.

Well, that's pittiful - I topped out at $8.32 in Attractions before I quit 10 years ago.

When I was a lead in Merch., we used to make something like $1.00 over whatever top rate was, so I loved working holidays when I could make double time at a little over $20.00 per hour. Damn. If I remember correctly, we also used to get .25 over our regular rate for decorating or sewing names on the hats... I can't remember what the other special rates were for.

At WDW, CR wages presently start at $6.80/hour, advancing to a maximum of $10.76 after 19 years. This is for labor grade 3, which includes most attraction, retail, and food service positions. Please note the above wages are *only* for CR (part-time) cast. Full time and seasonal have different schedules.

Premium payments include:
$0.25/hour for ODF inventory control,
$0.30 for steam engineers (and riverboat),
$0.75/hour for training or coordinator, with a max of
$1.00/hour for Coordinator of Training.

Thus after 6 years on the job (and 28 more in railroading), I'm pulling down $7.71/hour as a Conductor or Show Quality Monitor, or a whopping $8.46/hour as a Conductor Trainer.

Can somebody please tell me again why I'm not still retired?

Ewww its nice that the DL pay schedules (well at least the merch/attractions/Guest services/custodial contract) maxes out at 6 years, and a nice thing is lead premium is paid over the TOP rate so a lead whos only worked for disneyland for 2 years for instance makes an extra $3 or so.

Oh and anthony and silverstyle, I think you two got cost of living raises in march that you dont know about. $7.83 starting pay became like $8.06 and $8.25 (or $8.24...close enough), the 2nd year rate, became $8.49.
