Marquette Transportation

Is this your company?

Decent starter company. If you know someone who works there, you can get your foot in the door and go from there. - Anonymous employee Marquette Transportation Employee Review

Pros

plenty of boats to work on. They rarely fire anyone unless they really do a bad job. They just move you from boat to boat if you're not getting along with crews.

Cons

Healthy but debatable salary. Instead of issuing raises to those performing well, everyone gets same raise, depending on job title. If other boats are having accidents, the ones remaining safe suffer.

Pros

Cook with decent food and environment and time off

Cons

You will live off of naps while on square watch and often be expected to work more than your 12 hour shift up to a max of 15 hours a day. No lightning stand down policy makes storm work very dangerous. This company has the toughest work, one of the lowest pay, and also the highest rates of negligence and accidents. Constantly cutting corners to safe money and putting lives at risk. Just look at the public accidents and incidents over the last 15 years and you’ll get about 40% of the picture since most do not get reported or talked about per Marquette tradition.
