Pros

really nice international team (except for senior members)

Cons

I worked with them in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. When you arrive, they assign you to the base hotel in Playacar. People where nice in general there, but the person who was in charge of training me didn't want to do it (?). She said she must do it almost every week from scratch, and she was tired of it. So I spent one week there learning nothing and going a lot to the pool trying to get customer knowing nothing about scuba diving (they said it didn't matter not having experience). After 6 days they moved me to the Iberostar Paraiso hotel and there the nightmare began. The 'boss' there, named Bettina, is a really stressing woman: she must see you doing something, even when everything is ready and you've been moving for 4 hours non stop to not bother her. And the company's director (who makes some rounds in the hotels) was spying on us when we were catching customers at the pool! To see if we were doing our job. We once saw him behind a plant taking photos of us. That was so wrong. OK, so I was trained by the boss twice to do everything needed in the mornings... when the other PR girl who had years of experience wasn't there (2 days), but then when she arrived she didn't let me do those things. So the next time she was off I had to do it all again and didn't remember a few things and some days later I was fired with the excuse of not doing 'what it takes to work in Dressel Divers'. I gave all I had and I got kicked out 20 days after they hired me, when the time of probation was 28 days according to my contract. After that I'm still in contact with some colleagues (we had a really good working environment except for the 'boss') and most of them where fired in the following months. That means, if you're looking to stay in Mexico - or any country you apply with them - it's a 90% chance you are going to get fired BEFORE THEY START WITH YOUR VISA. They just avoid paying taxes with foreigners.
