Chaotic and Poorly Run - Product Marketing Manager Royal Caribbean Group Employee Review

Pros

Small discount on cruise packages, but not much.

Cons

The company is incredibly chaotic and provides no work life balance. During the interview process, they bragged about work/life balance, but when work began, they made it clear that I would need to work nights and weekends to meet unrealistic work deadlines. The managers tend to seem unqualified and don't know how to manage subordinates, or treat them with an iota of respect. Employees tip toe around superiors, always seeming afraid. It was a hostile environment for a company that peddles fun as their product.

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.
