Pros

Great benifits and fair wage. Good schedule and opportunities for training

One of the cons of being union is that promotions aren’t performance based which sometimes allows less qualified personnel to be moved up.

Adventurous but toxic

Business Outlook

Pros

Union, good work was noticed, travel, adventurous work

Cons

High turn over, vessels were toxic environments of racsism, homophobia, and misogyny. The culture rewarded bullying behavior from the top down. Most of the employees that had a mitigating effect on the toxic corporate culture got worn down and quit leaving an amplified atmosphere of exclusion. Difficult to keep good people.

Please know that at any time a crew member can air these kind of concerns through several channels: Labor Relations/HR, the DPA, their Union representatives or our Ethics Hotline.
