Pros: I liked the standard 9-to-5 schedule in the Santa Clarita, CA office. As a Guest Services Coordinator, my hours were pretty consistent, which is good for planning. You also get decent PTO after your first year, which helps a lot.
Cons: Work-life balance can get tough during peak cruise season. There's not much flexibility for onsite work, and sometimes you feel like you're always 'on' even when off the clock due to the nature of the cruise industry. Overtime isn't super common, but extra tasks pop up.
Advice to Management: Try to offer more flexibility, maybe a hybrid option for some roles. It would really help with employee morale during busy periods.
