Pros

The pay is decent once you get experience, or shall I say "signed off". You dont actually have to know anything. Decent benefits and a safety rewards program.

Cons

They say they only hire experienced people but every person they send to the boat is "green". The port captains lie to you about promotions and when you turn your back they laugh at you. Seen it and have had it done to me. Work hard and they use you to cover the guys who will not do anything but seem to never get reprimanded. The company is going down hill fast. They hire friends and family members of others and no matter what they do or don't do for that matter is a mute point. The boats are contracted to other, larger companies so marquette makes their money off how many people are on the boat, not performance. They don't care if you do it all and the other guys watch tv, nobody gets fired!

Pros

I would only recommend working for Marquette to get expirence .I worked with with great people while on the boat made a lot of good friends.Pay could be a lot better for all the work the deck crew has to go through.If your a tankerman or wheelman they treat you like god.

Cons

They have the wrong people working in the office.Deckhands are a dime a dozen according to them. They don't appreciate or show any recognition for all hard work the deckhands put out.Way to many accidents in the past few years.

Pros

Decent bonus, good holiday pay.

Cons

Lack of internal controls. No follow up with concerns to HR. Senior management does not engage with employees during normal business or at social functions, moral is very low. Employees are just a number. Preferencial treatment given to men. Most women are not valued and very few are in management positions. There is absolutely no flexibility. Professional Salaried Positions are treated like hourly employees and lots of micro managing in the office. Poor working environment. No tuition assistance.
