MSC Cruises

Management I found to be like a slave driver on the first ship and very judgemental and spiteful at the end on the 2nd ship.  The manager had some good points in stopping harrassment of colleagues in no uncertain terms, but he would push limits, would take sides with his Serbian colleagues and not listen to truths.  They said I would be in fine jewellery but this never happened until the gap opened up on the next ship. 

The 2nd ship's manageress had no cooking clue what she was doing, so the assistant manager would do her work and his as well.  Eventually he sent around a petition against her, which sited how vindictive she was against certain people.  So unprofessional.  She would make one recount stock multiple times, would not believe the counts, give stock sheets in non-alphabetical or numerical order just to be nasty, as per my colleagues.  She sabotaged my career indeed, as I knew she would.  She contravened the laws all the time. She was weak willed and would judge situations incorrectly.  She was incredibly discouraging. 

One had to clock in and out just for Half hour breaks, which as per their book, was not necessary.  But that manageress marked me down for that.  Eventually I felt she was victimising one for anything and everything.

I loved my job very much! We were a small group and everyone always made the group, not one was the out one and we were a team and workesd together. I learned to communicate with clients and i became more wise with all my skills as i did grow at MSC Cruises. My manager was a listener and she was reasenable. My co-workers were my friends, i did not see them as co-workers but friends, i know they would have help me with any work i get stuck with and cant reach the finish line. my co-workers believe we were a team! The hardest part of the job was we were in season, everyone was under pressure but we worked together as a team. The most enjoyable part of teh job was to know i am not alone!

The typical day at work use to start at 7:30 am and a few minutes after we signed in and got settled we would have daily meetings with the ships crew in which they would give us are report of how we performed in the checking in of passengers in our previous shift. I had learned that you have to have patients with customers and be extremely nice no matter what the conditions are. we had a fun, friendly and helpful team. the hardest part of the job was dealing with unhappy customers and what I enjoyed most was that the working environment that I was in kept me going the entire day. dealing with people who make you smile and actually appreciate the job your doing.

I will say this : nothing shocks me after that terrible experience.

Terrible leadership : The MD is a totally self absorbed individual. Mostly uses information as a qualification. Everything is approved in principle(never in written). 
This is the worst place to work as an accountant because you are expected to have the same work rate as the CFO.

Accounting principles don't apply here. Just forget what you know and maybe you'll slither and survive. 

The worst is there is no matrix use for performance : it's mostly feelings about the person. If chaos was a place, this would be it.

Working enviroment is very professional and pleasant and most vessels feel like a second home in no time.

a typical day at MSC meant that you would work very long hours per day, but you would always do it with a smile on your face. You need to be help the passengers and try communicate with them, even though most of them hardly spoke any English. I learnt how to communicate with other people and how to manage my time well. The hardest part of the job was when you had to work long hours without having a lunch break or a tea break due to the amount of work that has to be completed.

Working with Msc is good as you begin. Once you're about to reach the midterm of your contract then the colleagues begin to treat you with some sort of hatred and start setting up traps for you to receive a negative evaluation at the end of your contract. That shows you another side of it you wouldn't have expected, which is really biased.
