Question about CM benefits

Post by stitch'sgirl » Sun May 01, 2011 8:06 am

I know you'll all tell me how horrible the guests are and how much it sucks to work there but it's not for me it's for my husband so I don't care how much it sucks. ;) Right now my husband works for a big bank and we live in Charlotte, NC (aka Banktown). We figure in about 4 years he will be able to leave his job. His current pension averages the last 5 years salary and bases your monthly amount on that. We are no where near retirement age. When he leaves his current jon he has a non compete clause that if he goes to a named competitor he will lose any long term cash benefits that haven't been paid yet. He would need to wait 4 years before he would be able to work at a named competitor and not lose the money. Since we live in a city where all of the major employers are banks staying here isn't an option. I've been wanting to move to FL for a while. So basically my question is does Disney offer pension to it's employees? He would be interested in a corporate white collar job. He's a finance geek. Eventually when he gets older he would want to go part time and work in one of the parks. So based on the way his current pension is structured he would be screwing himself. If they offer pensions how is the payout figured? Thanks for any info you can provide. I promise I am not a stupid guest and I've been banned from board X for my lack of patience with stupid guests.

He might find a white collar job in Orlando, but his better bet is Burbank, CA where TWDC is headquartered and there are lots of divisions there, not just the Parks, but Disney Channel, ABC, the Studio, Imagineering, corporate HR & Investor Relations, the various retail and video divisions and more.

You vest at 5 years.
