Pros

Great coworkers/ mostly friendly culture Close to home if you live in Santa Clarita Some cruise benefits (have been reduced recently) Good work/ life balance Can be exciting working in the vacation/ travel industry

Cons

Low morale Pay is below industry standards (most employees would tell you the company is cheap) Low raises (i.e. they will not negotiate on internal promotions) Poor IT support (IT was outsourced to Capgemini and has resulted in poorer support) Poor executive management (they are not honest with employees and have made many bad decisions over the years) Forced integration with Holland America Line (ongoing but has calmed some. Resulted in morale issues and high turnover)
