wrote to customer service several weeks ago because the bonded leather couches we purchased 3 years ago are “peeling” . we sent pictures and were told that our one year warranty was up but they were willing to offer a prorated reselection which means they take the furniture back and you come in the store and spend more of your money on junk furniture . i responded as to the unfairness of this and they responded basically telling me that since i had the furniture 3 years it has served my purpose well over the one yr warranty ! ! in addition , we are snow birds so the furniture was not even used the full 3 years . rooms to go sold me junk furniture but didnt advertise it as such . if they would of advertised it as furniture that was going to be ruined in 3 years i wouldn’t of bought it . this is a manufacture problem , rooms to go has insurance and can recoup their loss but the customer can’t because rtg want to keep their profits and rip the customer off .

company holds the disney brand over your head , they are afraid to let go of bad employees , virtually zero chance of promotion from contract .

walt disney ' s success is based on a very simplistic approach : the filmed entertainment division comes up with new characters that are then used by the rest of the company to create a broader line of products ,
christopher p . dixon , an analyst for paine webber , said .
euro disney acknowledges the need for new investment . it won shareholder approval on jan . 13 for a recapitalization plan to cut debt , renovate the park and set it on a firmer financial footing . the walt disney company , which purchased euro disney’s debt load from french banks in 2012 , says it aims to reduce the 1 . 7 - billion - euro debt to about 1 billion euros and improve euro disney’s cash position by about 250 million euros .
“shareholders not the main concern”the trouble at euro disney stems from the firm’s origins and ownership structure .
euro disney faced its first financial crisis just two years after opening . walt disney company suspended royalty fees between 1994 and 1998 , before reinstating them at half the normal rate until 2004 . the firm’s profitable years came during this period . euro disney warned in its 1995 financial report that reinstating full payment of royalties and management fees would “have a significant impact on the group’s results of operations . ”
those charges cost euro disney around 10 percent of its annual revenue – too much , shareholders say , for it to become profitable . as evidence , they point out that all the years the european firm did turn a profit for shareholders were between 1995 and 2001 , a period when walt disney company had suspended most of its charges .
a disney spokeswoman said further deferring or waiving fees would not have substantially improved euro disney’s liquidity situation .
one of the ideas the company moved forward with was your concept for a symphony . how did you come up with it ?

now a disney company , fox kids europe is rebranding , as maria esposito explains . this year will see the gradual demise of the children ' s broadcasting brand fox kids europe .
shareholders do not dispute there are difficulties , but point to another factor : u . s . - based walt disney company , which owns 40 percent of euro disney , extracts tens of millions of euros annually from the european firm by charging it a host of fees and royalties for everything from operating a call center to the use of intellectual property .

the company does treat you well , even for a contract gig . but it likes to remind you that you work for disney , and they use it that to prevent any type of compensation . the work is usually pretty balanced , the life at the company is well with regular company outings and events . the campus is beautiful , and a lot of people , while under appreciated , are extremely hard working and very very great at their job .
i’ve been at the company for a while and i’ve witnessed the company go from highly supportive of sales to openly hostile towards sales and salespeople . senior sales leadership is jumping ship including the leader who commands the respect of the sales team and who is directly responsible the reasons why the company scaled so fast . with his departure many members of the sales team are wondering if there is a future for the company . not enough support from marketing to generate more inbound leads . the product has remained static and there seems to be no roadmap for developing additional features to help the sales team increase contract values . we hear a lot that the company is burning a lot of money each quarter while it continues to hire non - revenue producing employees .
whether jetix will grab fke ' s regular advertisers such as hasbro , mattel , lego and nintendo is a matter of conjecture . valerie grezes , the tv media buyer at mindshare , france , believes the proof will be in the programming .
and buena vista international formed gaumont buena vista international , their joint venture french distribution company , in 1992 .
shareholders also point to the fact that euro disney made money during the years disney suspended related - party transactions payments as evidence that the fees are an important cause of the theme park’s losses .
but shareholders say this argument is flawed because disney , as part - owner of euro disney , has a shared responsibility in the firm’s financial well - being . yet disney charged further fees and even raised them as euro disney fell on hard times .

i was offered the opportunity to be the communications intern at wdi and loved every moment of it . everyday taught me something new and the company treats their employees well . those who want to work there in the long - run either have to be hired at the right time or work hard enough to have the company rely on them .
in line with disney ' s approach of extending its creative franchises across the company ' s various business units , cook said he could envision the nature films inspiring opportunities in publishing , merchandising and theme park attractions .
. as with disney wiki , the text of wikipedia is available under the gnu free documentation license .
they are angry that the operation will give the parent company up to 82 percent in euro disney . in addition to disney’s stake , 10 percent of euro disney’s equity is held by saudi prince al waleed bin talal , and 6 percent by u . s . investment firm invesco . both declined to comment . the rest of the equity is held by small shareholders in europe .
judson c . green , president walt disney attractions , said that despite the recent declines , he expected overall park attendance and revenues to rise , ignited by the planned opening of new gates , rides and attractions . still , mr . green said , disney is cutting operating costs at the parks and aggressively pricing its hotels .
simply put , disney is the best company on earth as far as people , culture and fun . however , cast members that aren ' t senior managers are not paid enough to live in the area they work .
a major contributor to the success of the consumer products division was the disney stores , which sell everything from mickey mouse watches and dopey cookie jars to disney shirts , hats and jewelry .
but mr . eisner ' s new international concentration comes after a disaster in disney ' s most visible foray into europe . from its inception , euro disney has lost money , hurt by europe ' s recession and the company ' s misjudgments of european tastes .

“sixty years ago , walt disney welcomed the first guests to disneyland . nearly 3 billion guest visits later , it’s amazing to contemplate all that disney parks and resorts represents to so many people around the world , ” said tom staggs , chairman , walt disney parks and resorts . “we’ve conceived the disneyland diamond anniversary as a celebration of this special place that started it all . disneyland was envisioned as a place that encourages all of us to be ‘forever young , ’ in part by being forever young itself … so we’re celebrating not just the last 60 years , but all that is yet to come . ”
