Great company, really take care of employees.

Not much outside the box thinking. Most management are lifers who only know Crowley.

Adventurous but toxic

Mariner

Business Outlook

Pros

Union, good work was noticed, travel, adventurous work

Cons

High turn over, vessels were toxic environments of racsism, homophobia, and misogyny. The culture rewarded bullying behavior from the top down. Most of the employees that had a mitigating effect on the toxic corporate culture got worn down and quit leaving an amplified atmosphere of exclusion. Difficult to keep good people.

Business Outlook

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.
