Straight forward though they take awhile to get back to you sometimes a week or 2. Though the paperwork and scheduling is pretty easy to get through. Good experience overall.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at SMS International Shore Operations (Port of Miami, FL) in Feb 2017
Interview
There were many people at the open interview. Waited 2 hours to speak to the interviewer. Keon was very pleasant and accommodating. She explained the position quite well. The position would be interesting greeting people and helping them on and off their cruise.
My issue is with the cost prior to working at SMS. There is a $125.25 cost to obtain a TWIC ID’s and Port of Miami ID’s. Then the uniform cost is $130. So for $250. cost they offer to pay $9.50 per hour for this part time position? I till take 25 hours of work just to pay for the cost of starting the position. I was shocked at this cost for a position that is a few cents more than minimum wage. This just does not seem fair nor appropriate to charge these items to people with such a low wage.
