Interesting work environment

Pros

A free bus pass is available if you desire one. They are building a new office which will be quite nice.

Cons

When I got here the business was handled very old-school. We are told over and over that things are changing, but I have yet to see any actual changes.

GOING DOWNHILL

Pros

Professional. Stable. Tradition of excellence. Other than that, nothing, this place is in the wrong track.

Cons

Consolidation with PCL is ruining a once proud cruise line. We're being Disneyfied. Finance leadership were all 'retired'. Morale is zero.

It's ok at best.

Pros

Typical benefits - not great, but good enough, there are some travel opportunities to attractive locations, a few cruising perks included, don't require a lot of overtime, and a 9/80 schedule (the 9/80 is by far the best perk offered)

Cons

Internal communication is horrible, no attempts at community building, road blocks and barriers to success are everywhere, a militaristic culture that suppresses employee attempts at implementing improvements, very top heavy with VPs/Directors paranoid about job security, archaic review process, length of employment is rewarded more than quality of employee, salaries are significantly lower than market averages. You actually have to pay money to go to the company summer picnic.
