      Pros

      9/80 compressed schedule. Cruise privilege (inflexible if you opt for the "free" option). Paid ORCA card.

      Cons

      As one other reviewer cited, PCL is running the show (Finance anyway) from Santa Clarita. CFO encourages to ask why but the answer you mostly get from people in Seattle is "because that's how it was done last year", that is, no one knows why things are done the way they are. With the high turnover in Finance, this isn't surprising though.

      Pros

      There are some great people within the company, and there are opportunities to learn and to lead, depending on your department.

      Cons

      The company is very old-school in its view of human resources. The company suffers from a low moral, and there is no sense of momentum, growth, energy or excitement here. Pay is lower than average, and in my department at least, there was an emphasis on butt-in-seat, rather than on productivity, which will have to change to be competitive in Seattle. Holland is not leading they way on anything, not social responsibility nor innovation.

      Pros

      Enjoyed a great sense of community, worked closely with managers and hotel staff. A very fast paced job with lots of different challenges.

      Cons

      No opportunities for advancement. Occasionally there were discrepancies with information we were given versus what customers were told which caused some problems.
