Pros

You get 20% off cruises

Cons

Working at Royal Caribbean Group leaves no room for any flexibility on working hours. At the last all hands meeting, it was noted that on the staff survey people were asking for flexible work hours. They said that they heard us but they will not be adjusting the work hours. After that they reminded us that I. The past they had us stay until 6 instead of 5 like they do now and that it could always be worse. I thought this was very rude and short sighted. Currently I am a salary employee working form 0700 until 1700 since meetings are scheduled all day between these times. They installed cameras to monitor the work area and removed cubical during the pandemic. Now we just have a bunch of desks on the floor and no privacy at all.

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.
