That is not where these grads want to work. They want to work for Disney Corp. not Disney Parks. Yes, I think you are making a false comparison when you talk about jobs at the parks.

The 2006 survey (where they were #1) consistently talked about the opportunities with ESPN and ABC. They leave the theme parks out of it. But if you look at the College Program sites, they sure promote that ranking as if they were a big part of the article. I'm a big fan of the program too, but they aren't being ranked because of that program. The thing is- that survey doesn’t even talk about working in the theme parks and resorts.

No one is competing with Google in the employee relations/benefits department because no one is trying. Lucasfilm's family of companies does a good attempt at coming close, and both Microsoft and Apple have a lot of comfort perks. Pixar is another good example, but no one goes all out like Google. Seems to me it's because no one else thinks it's worth it to treat your employees like Google treats theirs. “but there is no way to compete with Google in employee relations these days”
