OK, so back to the original question. If one was to work part time at a NON WDW property (Think Vero Beach, HHI, or Hawaiian time share)....do you think they would be entitled to this: ...free park access, a maingate pass, access to cast connection and property control, CM discounts for restaurants, cruises and lodging. Stock purchase ability and limited 401K. Also, what is "property control" and how much are the CM discounts for the restaurants and lodging. Not worried about healthcare....we've got that covered.
Those who work Part-time on non-WDW property are given the same perks as those who work on property. However, they are not covered under the union contract for WDW Cast Members (including Vero Beach). Depending on who you ask, that is either a good or bad thing.
The company stock purchase program is done through a payroll deduction, stock purchase is also available through limited 401k. Property control is a "store" where damaged and discontinued merchandise is sold at a deep discount. In addition, items left in lost and found (chargers, sunglasses, clothing, jewelry, etc.) for longer than 90 days are available for Cast Members to purchase. There is also a store next door called Cast Connections where surplus groceries can be bought in addition to other Disney merchandise available to Cast Members.
Discounts on dining are 20% and are subject to blackout dates depending on location. Merchandise starts at 25% and can increase up to 35% through years of service or going to a salaried position. Resorts are 40% off for friends and family, 50% if you are staying in the room, both are subject to block out dates and availability. These percentages are always subject to change depending on the time of year.
