Pros

Great benefits packages, great base pay, some schedules in some departments are great. There is lots of promotion potential to an extent, but you will hit a glass ceiling.

Cons

Chaotic, poorly managed. The supervisors are not the best bunch that the company has to offer, but it's often people who suck up that get promoted into higher positions, not the ones who do the best job or are deserving. The attendance policy is very strict. They do whatever they can in order to avoid paying out incentive. They have very high expectations for some employees and low expectation for others and the cultures in different offices creates a lot of friction. People feel that one call center has less expectation that others and the training is very poor. The company seems to be pushing hard to outsource or move offshore to the Philippines and Guatemala, which creates a lot of stress on employees who wonder if they'll be laid off. Employees have 0 impact on decision and technology is lacking greatly, but the company has no intention to help it's employees do their jobs efficiently to meet their expectations. Richard Fain wants his company to be a Fortune 500, but they're ignoring the basics.

Pros

Pay is competitive. You get a free cruise.

Cons

The culture here was ok, though not the best. Now with a VERY strict 9-5 policy, the entire company is feeling the grip of the execs. No exceptions for anyone who has a doctors appointment or needs to pick up a kid or adjust their hours slightly to get through life. Many employees have to work extra hours, travel across the world, and work based on other time zones due to projects spanning across the world. No matter, 9-5 or pack your things. Execs are demanding more control, they seem to forget that they placed their office all the way in the traffic zoo of the Port of Miami. No one is happy and now you can hardly get out of the port at a decent time. Would have loved to see some execs and vps fight against this but it seems they only care about protecting themselves, and Mr Liberty is having his way. I hope he enjoys this act of control as it is making his employees miserable. Expect high turn over soon or layoffs, or both. Many of the small benefits have been rolled back without any announcement (food discounts, commuter discounts) without any notice. We have lost the plot, we are selling vacations, not saving lives.
