Vantaggi
If you cruising, this is the place, though seniority takes precedent when assigning cabins and of course, employees get the "not so great cabins" -read inside cabins. Very caring and "real" VP of HR - she truly cares for people and their well being, however, her hands are tied when it comes to approving higher salary increases. People seem to like to work here. Employees stay for a very long time - 15, 20 years. Level of satisfaction depends on the Department you are working for. Some are better than other, though I would say to anyone, stay away from Supply Chain (Purchasing)
Svantaggi
Very political!! Some extremely rude and poor managers in top positions and company does nothing to correct their poor behavior or lack of people and management skills. There seem to be too many chiefs and it takes too long to make decisions. Salaries, from managers down, are very poor at best and raises even poorer! Salaries and raises do not stay at par with cost of living. This year's increase for 2007 was a mere 3%. Offices are at the Port of Miami and unless you live downtown or in the immediate surrounding areas, the commute is hellish due to traffic and street congestion
