Pros

Cruising. People take pride in the industry and our brands. Town Halls regularly from leadership. Extra CEO gifted days off.

Cons

No full-time work from home policies. There is a big disconnect between leadership and employees and survey results are not shared. Not enough spend on IT, dated systems & applications and lack of formal standardized processes. Takes too long to get anything done! WLB is bad due to resource constraints across IT. High turnover. Great employees leave after 1-2 years, mediocre ones stay which impact moral. Vacation days lacking behind, 10 days for someone with 10+ years experience!

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.
