Pros
Within the bounds of certain teams and with luck a caring supervisor, a career driven employee can take advantage of the culture of dodging responsibility to take over new challenges and rapidly grow their skill set, then leave before being corrupted by the environment. As a place where no one is fired for not doing their job, and employees can take up an employment position and draw a salary without doing anything while deflecting responsibility, Holland America is a decent retirement option for non-career minded people without passion, drive, or morals. 9/80 schedule (every other friday off)
Cons
Cross-team/department interaction is a mess of dodging responsibility and political backstabbing. Leadership condones inaction when issues are escalated; employees who don't do their job face no consequences. Lack of clarity on team roles and missions encourages silos, squabbling, and teams/departments working against each other. People gain employment here and sit on their titles, blocking other people's progress to avoid work while drawing a salary doing the absolute minimum. Pay is awful and well below market rate. Leadership will tell you one thing and do another the instant they get out of sight. The culture of dodging responsibility exists quite far up the chain of command. On the other hand, when things go well due to the hard work of lower level employees, leadership is quick to get themselves involved and take credit.
