WHAT IT'S LIKE:
Apply (online, or in person). Wait for their response.
Walk in, pass through some security, and check in for your appointment. You fill out a quick questionnaire about your personal info/availability/work environment preferences/etc. Then you wait in the lobby, watch a few minutes of a Universal movie. A few moments later, you're called in for an initial one-on-one interview in a room with a lot of cubicles. They'll ask you basic questions about past work experience, why you want to work here, and the like.
Then you're sent to a separate room to wait (another Universal movie is playing, of course) for yet another interview in a room with lots of desks (it's open air, but other people won't interrupt your interview) where a manager will apply your availability and skills to the appropriate job. Then, you'll be sent to a room to determine when you're available for orientation. After that, a bit more waiting, and then you get some paperwork for your payroll info, and you're sent off to get fingerprinted and a picture is taken. YOU'RE HIRED.
MY EXPERIENCE:
Walked in 15 minutes before my appointment. Everyone's very nice and friendly (mind you, this was right after lunch!). I watched a bit of the Avengers then I was called for a 1:1 interview with a very nice lady. She asked the aforementioned questions, and passed me on to the next room. I waited for a few minutes, enjoying the end of The Amazing Spider-man, then was called for my next 1:1 interview with a manager. This is where I was given my position as a Sales Associate in City Walk (I mistakenly applied for Vendor, but they were very nice and let me change my decision). I worked out my orientation times in the next room. Waited in the movie-room while watching Captain America, then got called with a group of others for the lowdown on orientation. Then it's fingerprinting and photo time--and I'm out the door, with a job!
CONTEXT:
This was during the summer of 2016, when Universal Orlando wanted to hire 2500 new employees as well as raise the base pay to $10/hour. The people working the interviews were SUPER GREAT considering this frenzy of a time.
Dress to impress (some people didn't but they still go the job), but you want to better your chances.
Prepare beforehand--don't go in nervous like me.
It's lit.
