Chief Mate on ship assist tug

Pros

Mostly everyone at Crowley are great to work with. The schedule is about as good as you can get in the maritime business. You only work 180 days a year. LA/ LB harbors are busy so if you like driving boats, it's the best place to be because the hitches fly by. Safety oriented.

Cons

They stop paying for flights. Support from the office is there but not as good as it used to. The pay scale is off when comparing with other ship assist companies in the harbor. Paid only 8 hours when taking training required by the company and not paid for flying to and back from training, flights are paid for though. Tugs are not insulated so they are very loud and vibration may bother some people.

Perception is all that really matters

Pros

Benefits are affordable with a focus on healthy living

Cons

Crowley is a company based solely on perception and not substance. While Crowley continually bombards LinkedIn and other media/social outlets claiming to be a high performing/diverse company, it only takes a few clicks on the company website to see the 12 member Senior Leadership Team is comprised only of white men, where is the diversity? Also, the systems used are tired and antiquated, everything is kept on excel spreadsheets. Where is this high performance? The company has been sitting on the "brink of change" but never fully commits allowing employees to revert back to old methods and the high performers to leave. Their is a reason the front door is a revolving door -

Thank you for taking the time to provide us feedback. At Crowley, we are a diverse company with employees from Alaska to Central America and we truly value their differing perspectives. We continue to work on this through numerous initiatives like the flex work program, parental leave, and diversity and inclusion trainings. However, we acknowledge that Crowley, like most companies, has some work to do at the higher levels. We are continuing to advance and transform our organization by committing to improvements in our technology and processes. We've also implemented a Change Leadership department to help with facilitation and adaptation of these new projects. So, while we know we're not completely there yet, we are committed to creating a more contemporary culture focused on high performance.

Pros

Amazing benefits! Dental, vision, and medical insurance all for a great price

Cons

Coworkers will make you feel left out and treat you horribly so you will leave if you haven’t been working there as long as they have. They will use you when they need you and talk bad about you afterwards, management does nothing. Pay is every 15th and 30th.
