Pros

- Great 401K plan - Great benefits - AMAZING camaraderie (Best coaches) -Remote

Cons

- Long hours. - Jan-March busy season more money but longer hours - Base pay is set at 16500 and has been like that since the beginning of their cruise debut..... Real money is based on how many bookings you do and can be ... a bit of a strain. If guest books online, you DO NOT GET CREDIT. -_-

Pros

Work from home (can also be a con), great training, managers are supportive, benefits are really good

Cons

Isolation of working from home, "helping out" other departments with no extra pay or incentive, pay is quite low, computer systems have constant issues which leads to angry guests
