Pros

Free gym to use in building and NO ONE is EVER in it! They ONLY promote from within which you have to know all aspects of the job before you can be promoted so don't be fooled that hiring outside for management positions is even a possibility!

Cons

Highly underpaid and upper managements goal is to figure out ways to pay you less and less. Due to state agreements (they pay NO taxes) they are unable to lay off employees yet they are also required to hire "X" amount of new employees every year. To accommodate this agreement they do MASS firings. From April to October it is VERY normal for 150-200 employees to have been fired EVERY year to which they then hire on the average 250 new employees between October and December. January through May they hire handfuls of people off and on. The state only cares about their "new hires" the local media ONLY hears about them constantly hiring and ONLY their ex and current employees likewise the department of employment know how they really work! They have one of the highest unemployment claims in the state! This company is currently being sued for millions on top of millions of dollars for ilegal work practices, inadiquately paying their shipboard employees and ilegal work conditions. To the untrained ear this company sounds great to work for but you soon find out differently! In a pinch work there IF you need a job but keep your resume out there and keep interviewing! Longevity with this company is rare to nonexistent!

Pros

Modern office with good links to public transport

Cons

I can only speak for the department I worked in but numerous meetings that achieved nothing, no clear line of responsibility or identification of decision makers, constantly changing direction, lack of management of poor performers

Pros

They have a very positive outlook toward their employees. Training, flex time, other employees are all a great plus for them. I loved working there and would gladly return if given a chance.

Cons

There is a definite hierarchy within the employees. If a manager doesn't like you for personal reasons, you are gone. There are no second chances to anything. I can see expecting the best from an employee, but if there are complex issues that are affecting the employee there is no one to help out and no time given to work it out. Some long time managers are believed over the employee without the employee being asked why their performance was lacking. It's a last in, first out mentality.
