Pros

Free gym to use in building and NO ONE is EVER in it! They ONLY promote from within which you have to know all aspects of the job before you can be promoted so don't be fooled that hiring outside for management positions is even a possibility!

Cons

Highly underpaid and upper managements goal is to figure out ways to pay you less and less. Due to state agreements (they pay NO taxes) they are unable to lay off employees yet they are also required to hire "X" amount of new employees every year. To accommodate this agreement they do MASS firings. From April to October it is VERY normal for 150-200 employees to have been fired EVERY year to which they then hire on the average 250 new employees between October and December. January through May they hire handfuls of people off and on. The state only cares about their "new hires" the local media ONLY hears about them constantly hiring and ONLY their ex and current employees likewise the department of employment know how they really work! They have one of the highest unemployment claims in the state! This company is currently being sued for millions on top of millions of dollars for ilegal work practices, inadiquately paying their shipboard employees and ilegal work conditions. To the untrained ear this company sounds great to work for but you soon find out differently! In a pinch work there IF you need a job but keep your resume out there and keep interviewing! Longevity with this company is rare to nonexistent!

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.
