Business Outlook

Pros

schedule (28day on 28 days off) good ship handling experience, learn lots of about vessel operations good medical and dental.

Cons

poor working conditions, Long hours, horrible food on board vessel, no internet when off shore, limited use of communication to home and loved ones, people/office can be extremely hard to work with. Money is alright, but only because you can't spend it due to working 1/2 the year. No 401k matching, no paid flights or transportation to work, late crew changes, horrible communication with office and client.

Business Outlook

Pros

My boss is great and that's about it.

Cons

Pay, benefits, vacation, environment. They pay very little, no performance reviews or schedule of pay raises. Does not increase pay based on cost of living. Vacation time is 0 for the first year. 5 days for years 2-3 and 10 days for years 3+. Does not match 401k at all, even if we had a spectacular year. Everyone who succeeds is a personal buddy of a family member. Almost impossible to move up. It's the basic "good ole boys" club situation.
