Pros
great and inclusive culture where no matter where you are from, you can find yourself right at home. The company provides great benefits and they are people centered, seeign their employees as their greatest assets. As such, the provdide countless opportunities for fruther personal and career development, and if you are searching for a career path and not just anotehr job, Carnival may just be the place where you will find it.
Cons
For some it may be a con, for me it is what an ethical professional should strive to be: You will have to be task/goal oriented, udertand the value to teamwrk and believe in the part you play. Also, performace is important to suceed. In summary I see no cons to the job. You have to put in the time and effort, and also, different leaders manage their team differently, per say, but if you find your fit in within the company, you will saty with us for years to come.

Pros
Good equipment provided for home working apart from the Gladis form for marketing which is totally unneeded and the guest feedback form. Great ships and discounts. Really looked after me when was off on long term sick.
Cons
Too many systems to use and forms to fill in per call. Staff call centre turn over high making waiting times for guests on the phone over an hour at times. Booking system too long winded to make a booking. Lots of frustrated customers. Training needsto have a telephone buddy system to help you once on the phones. Someone with you for at least four week instead of just letting you go it alone.

Pros
The overall corporation seems like a good place to work and benefits are great!
Cons
Incompetent leadership in many aspects of the organization. You’ll have to read in between the lines of what’s being said and what is actually meant. “Gain the experience and move on” type of job.
