Royal Caribbean Group reviews

Highly underpaid and upper managements goal is to figure out ways to pay you less and less. Due to state agreements (they pay NO taxes) they are unable to lay off employees yet they are also required to hire "X" amount of new employees every year. To accommodate this agreement they do MASS firings. From April to October it is VERY normal for 150-200 employees to have been fired EVERY year to which they then hire on the average 250 new employees between October and December. January through May they hire handfuls of people off and on. The state only cares about their "new hires" the local media ONLY hears about them constantly hiring and ONLY their ex and current employees likewise the department of employment know how they really work! They have one of the highest unemployment claims in the state! This company is currently being sued for millions on top of millions of dollars for ilegal work practices, inadiquately paying their shipboard employees and ilegal work conditions. To the untrained ear this company sounds great to work for but you soon find out differently! In a pinch work there IF you need a job but keep your resume out there and keep interviewing! Longevity with this company is rare to nonexistent!

The company culture is just terrible, very sad. Turnstiles tracking attendance, however you are expected to be available for calls 24/7, they refuse to address work-life balance. Additionally, the company is in full on savings mode, so dept. resources have been severely cut with more and more responsibility on the individuals, something has to give. the company continues to grow yet we continue to cut resources, salaries, and benefits.....all while providing no flexibility and requiring people to commute to the busiest area of miami.
