Pros

Nice Cafeteria workers. Cute little perks. Benefits okay.

Cons

I worked there for over 4years and I am just now getting my soul back. Management is horrible! The hand never knows what the foot is doing. There is pressure to make unrealistic sales goals-the QA is really unfair-and it feels like the seventh circle of hell. Do not do phone work especially for this company --you are just a very small wheel in a very large cog. You are a robot. Plain and simple. And don't get me started on the wage! 11 cents a year? I could make more at Mcdonald's.

Pros

Mon-Fri latest shift till 6 pm -until they change that again. Free cruises. Get to work from home.

Cons

Horrible management, or lack there of, can't seem to get or keep a full management team since the summer of 2018. Feels like a preschool with no supervision. Rules are constantly changed on a whim. Archaic system uses email and spreadsheets to communicate. Terrible morale company wide especially with the office of the Personal Cruise Consultants. New manager is extremely abrasive, unprofessional, unapproachable and out of touch. Our "Sales Coaches" have zero sales background and do nothing more then useless micromanaging. This department is being run into the ground.

Pros

Travel perks and nice office

Cons

Very disorganized company, lots of wrong info, management is inexperienced and lacks communication skills. Training was inadequate, you are fed to the wolves. Major inconsistencies in management style. And policies. The direction and target changes daily. Leads are very cold, this job is nothing like I was described in interview process. Odd feeling working for holland America in a Princess office in another state. Complicated pay structure.
