Pros

Possibly the most diverse company in the industry. Lots of great people work there and many of them have at least a decade there. Lots of paperwork and a strict policy culture but still has an old school workboat feel. With a company this huge all it takes though is ending up in the wrong division, wrong boat and wrong crew to sour your experience, but generally speaking the company has a well maintained fleet and mostly good mariners.

Cons

Upward movement can be tough. There's still the good Ole boy network so merit isn't the only thing looked at when advancement comes to play. It can be very competitive. Patience is key.

Pros

They pay for training with the caveat that you work it off for a certain amount of time. They have a lot of boats so if one doesn't work out, you can find one that is a good fit.

Cons

They promote whoever is most convenient, so a third mate who just graduated 6 months ago might be a chief mate but an experienced mate with capatains recommendations for the position will not get promoted, due to convenience. They don't pay anywhere near the best at all. They are one of the lowest paying in the gulf. During the economic downturn in the gulf they laid people off but the owners had a Ferrari delivered to the office while in the middle of layoffs. Real high class decision there.
