Pros

Most teams are great - everyone you meet is nice and happy to help. Free cruises are a nice perk and seems like many teams are run well.

Cons

The finance department has had a complete overhaul, and everyone is new as conditions were awful. They were giving out 10k retention bonuses to keep employees, but still were not able to. I have never been degraded or belittled at work, but that is exactly the experience I had there. It is not a culture built on competence, but rather one where politics and family connections matter more. For example, they hired a fuel director with 0 years of fuel experience. I have never heard of someone directing a team on a subject they know nothing about.

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.
