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

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.
