After getting hired in, you start off with CR or CR-25 Casual Regular and work towards 25 hours, but then I could be wrong and get 16 hours.
Part-time: 25-30 hours.
Full-time: 30 to 40 hours.
It took me a while to get the info.
21 years and 22 years next month. :)

More than 40 hrs. when we are high count. Anything after 40 hrs. is OT. Full time CMs are always given more hrs. due to senority - if they request on prefs.

I got hired as a full timer so that means 30-40 hrs? I've been so curious because I got the call at the end of January and I really know next to nothing. I know what park I'm working in and I know I'm full time and that's about it. I believe I get my start date on Friday-my recruiter told me that when I put my paperwork in I get the date for Traditions which will be my official first day.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can provide.

Please, my friends call me Patchy! I didn't see such a welcome, though I suppose I might have missed it. Of course, I'm just happy to be here!

Whoa, you hired in FT?

That's unusual. What L O B? I thought only managers & up hired in FT, yet what would I know. Thanks Syndrome for the phrase. ;)

Maybe that's true at DLR but not at WDW. I know a number of CMs that started out FT. I trained with someone that started FT and the only reason I started as a CR is because there were no FT positions open at that exact moment in time.

And we're happy to have you here, too. If I come across one of the marsupials I will definitely give him an ear twist. ;)

In ODV, allot of the crew was hired at CR-25 and after 3 years, you can go to Part-time unless they need major amounts of help, FT might be offered.

As darph says; "your blonde is showing." Duh, I knew this & recall when you hired in giving us this info.

Shorty, what in the world would I ever do without you? Yes, I really mean this!
Welcome to SGT Patchy. :) You will soon learn to ignore me.

When I interviewed, the recruiter told me that there were no FT positions available and he gave me 24 hours to decide if I wanted PT. I thought it over, talked it over and scrambled my budget and said yes-hoping that I wouldn't have to be PT for long. So, I called him back and accepted. The next day he called and told me a FT slot had opened and I accepted.
I don't know what L.O.B. means...but I'm working attractions at typhoon lagoon.
