    Pros

    - Get to see different ports/countries - Work with a variety of nationalities from around the world. - Great experience that you will look back on one day and be glad you experienced it. - If your good with your salary, you can save a lot of money after a contract.

    Cons

    -Very long working hours -up to 13 hours a day on a Sea day or Embarkation day -From 9 to 11 hours a day on a Port day -Lots of favourtism and Nepotism. The company is not aware of what things happen on the ship (and if they do, that is really appauling). - Leadership and management take advantage of people that come from developing countries, where the wages and opportunities are not as good. (Therefore, lots of employees are very subserviant to leaders and managers). - No days off, only a few hours off each day to rest.
