Pros
Co workers and lower management guys are great for the most part. Just a bunch of normal guys trying to do a good job. Boats are nice and clean thanks to the great guys that work on them!
Cons
Hmmm where do I even start!? Upper management aka office managers and owner, have zero interest in the well being and life of there employees. It's not a good feeling to wake up every morning and go to work for someone, you know values you about as much as trash on the side walk. It's really hard on you mentally and physically. I love the people I work along side with I just wish I could see a future here. They recently took us off hourly/OT pay and put us on a 12 hour day rate. Which wouldn't be bad but they cut back the crews to the bare minimum per shift. So we are constantly being asked to work over our 12 hour day without zero compensation which is a big no no to anyone with common since. Our shift is from 4am-4pm. Then there are the captains that will not stand up for the guys under them and speak up. Even after you put in 12 hours and go home you are expected to jump up at a minutes notice in the middle of the night to come to work for free. Captains here have a lot more power than at most places. They are probably the only reason the port of Pascagoula even lets berry snider still work this port, because they all grew up here along with the pilots of Pascagoula. I wish I could speak my opinion out loud but would just be shunned by my scared co workers.
