Finance & Accounting department - Anonymous employee Windstar Cruises Employee Review

Horrible culture and work environment stemming from two undertrained managers (the controller being one) the skills needed to do this job successfully were not taught in an efficient manner. No one knew what they were doing and why- they knew how because the “deadlines were deadlines” and the work needed to get done. No one was cross trained on each other’s position, therefore it is very hard to get time off approved- not to mention the work from home aspect. They must be living ages ago since they don’t allow their employees to work from home at all. It is a very unsupportive environment - the managers don’t have a clue since half the time they sit in each others offices with the doors closed and laugh and gossip which makes them again inaccessible for questions to be answered. I have never management act so unprofessionally in my career. Their employees aren’t people to them, and they don’t care the situations just as long as your work gets done. Missing appointments, vacations, family events - they don’t care- it’s about the workload. You would think HR would be stepping in at this point since they have had 75% turnover in 6 months. Or maybe that just goes to show how HR and the company support this culture. The disrespect, the lack of knowledge by management and the unsupportive training environment is enough to make anyone jump ship.
