Pros

Working with great people within the department was the best aspect of this job. The training was very thorough and I enjoyed our "teacher". RCCL has onsite fitness and cafeteria's and a nice outside area to enjoy on breaks.

Cons

Always felt like a cattle pin - very cut throat. Being a small base salary plus commission based position, most agents were not eager to help people who already had a reservation when they called in. It was an atmosphere where the only thing that mattered was the sale rather than great customer service. There is definitely room for improvement. The other issue was the way the initial shifts were drawn. It was determined by the luck of the drawer and even though you might have stated you could not perform well in a late shift... you were stuck. Low pay, demanding managers and just okay benefits.

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.
