Pros

HAL has a very diverse community onboard hailing from all 7 continents of the world, although most of them come from asia. Because of this, you get to meet a lot of people of different cultures and practices which is very interesting because each individual has different personalities. But the best part is that you get to see the world.

Cons

Crew members do not have benefits and are underpaid despite the fact that they have long working hours and lots of overtime. Whats worse is how crew members are not allowed to log it in the system that they did an overtime because the managers and supervisors doesnt want the head office calling on them.
