Pros

Good starting point for the marine time industry especially for young licensed individuals straight out of school. You will move up fast and gain sea time fairly quick. Federal based job and guaranteed employment if your looking for financial stability.

Cons

You will ALWAYS be gone. assignments are a minimum of 4 months and your usually overdue for a additional 30-45 days making the average assignment 5-6 months long at a time the expected work rotation. In which afterwards you will only be allowed 30 days leave at home before being considered AWOL or threatened with leave without pay or termination even if you have the leave time available on the books.
