Pros

The benefits are decent, as long as you can somehow find the time to take advantage of them. They also feed you when you're forced to work an inhumane amount of hours.

Cons

You have to fight to get any recognition for your work. There is no incentive to work hard and try to do great things, since no one will care or even notice. The working conditions are horrific. You are forced to work a ridiculous amount of hours on weekdays and weekends. Your personal life takes a back seat here. There is no such thing as career growth. You will learn nothing other than surviving under the most stressful working conditions I've experienced. I'm no stranger to hard work but the way we were treated was simply ridiculous. The culture is one that rewards bigotry and incompetence, and punishes good employees and productivity. They have no idea that they're actually hurting themselves. The turnover rate is incredibly high. Most of management should be replaced with people who actually care about others, the industry, and the company.

Pros

The people - hardworking, honest and like family. The vision of the company - groundbreaking and innovative The benefits - cruise benefits for employees & friends and family Work from home Fridays Week off in December for the holidays Little Cruisers onsite daycare

Cons

Little to no flexibility in work hours. They preach a work life balance but then send out weekly "clock in/clock out" reports to supervisors, making a big deal if you are not logging your 8 hours in the office, but then do not take into account the afterhours that are being put in at home, sometimes on vacation and while traveling for work.
