Pros

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)

Cons

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

Pros

Pay is competitive. You get a free cruise.

Cons

The culture here was ok, though not the best. Now with a VERY strict 9-5 policy, the entire company is feeling the grip of the execs. No exceptions for anyone who has a doctors appointment or needs to pick up a kid or adjust their hours slightly to get through life. Many employees have to work extra hours, travel across the world, and work based on other time zones due to projects spanning across the world. No matter, 9-5 or pack your things. Execs are demanding more control, they seem to forget that they placed their office all the way in the traffic zoo of the Port of Miami. No one is happy and now you can hardly get out of the port at a decent time. Would have loved to see some execs and vps fight against this but it seems they only care about protecting themselves, and Mr Liberty is having his way. I hope he enjoys this act of control as it is making his employees miserable. Expect high turn over soon or layoffs, or both. Many of the small benefits have been rolled back without any announcement (food discounts, commuter discounts) without any notice. We have lost the plot, we are selling vacations, not saving lives.
