Pros

Generally fair pay for what is required. Good benefits! Stand by cruises for employees! In my experience, most of my co-workers were very nice, hard-working people.

Cons

The thing to remember when seeking employment there is that you will be tethered to a phone in front of a computer taking call after call all day long and are expected to adhere strictly to your schedule. Believe it or not, every minute is measured and affects your ranking. The lowest ranking employees get the worst schedules, such as working closing shifts and weekends. You will hear about it if you are not in compliance even by a minute! You can be fired for being out of compliance too often. So you literally have to walk around with a timer on you. I worked there 13 years and for most of that time, supervisors often did not know how to do their jobs effectively or even how to motivate their team without being negative or threatening. Most of them had been away from being on the phone for so long they could not remember the pressures or demands of the job, so could not adequately lead or even assist their team members. It wasn't until recently that management started to retrain and evaluate supervisors to make them more effective.

Pros

The people - hardworking, honest and like family. The vision of the company - groundbreaking and innovative The benefits - cruise benefits for employees & friends and family Work from home Fridays Week off in December for the holidays Little Cruisers onsite daycare

Cons

Little to no flexibility in work hours. They preach a work life balance but then send out weekly "clock in/clock out" reports to supervisors, making a big deal if you are not logging your 8 hours in the office, but then do not take into account the afterhours that are being put in at home, sometimes on vacation and while traveling for work.
