Business Outlook

Pros

Health insurance and benefits are about the only good thing

Cons

Place is a rats nest, lines everywhere, trash everywhere, pee bottles all over the ships. Company has saturated the workforce with inexperienced hands. Hiring anyone it seems. Quality of work has gone way down hill in the last 5 or 6 years. They make experienced hands fix all the screw ups cause by people who don't know anything. They are more concerned with unnecessary paperwork than training these people and making sure you can walk through the ship without tripping over lines and crap piled up everywhere.
