Good short term job, not career worthy

Pros

Excellent benefits and decent hours. Work/life balance was pretty good and mostly friendly people. No micromanagement in my department.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement and low pay. Raises were minimal and upper management didn't seem to care about low end workers. Everyone was easily replaceable in their minds.

Corporate Experience, Enjoyable Product

Pros

Many employees are loyal, committed, and in love with cruising and ships. From mid-level downwards, employees relate well to each other, minus typical and well represented corporate relationship drama.

Cons

Extremely corporate, chain-of-command environment, but wants not to be. Management occasionally tried new things or approaches, but it sometimes felt forced and uncomfortable. The bonus and compensation structure favors higher titled employees.
