Rule By Fear and Intimidation

Business Outlook

Pros

I like living in Wyoming

Cons

Senior management goes to great lengths to ensure you live in constant fear of being fired. They regularly hold "public hangings" (firings) to reinforce that fear. You are constantly talked down to. If you are not an over payed consultant your opinion is worthless. Team work is a foreign concept in this culture. You have to constantly watch your back. Long hours, dedication, nor your contributions are rewarded here. 2020 was a tough year for everyone - 401K contributions were cut, no bonuses, deferred raises while the president went ahead and took an $850K "retention" bonus and the company paid out $148 million in shareholder distributions.

Good company but no shore support

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay and benefits for everyone

Cons

No room for advancement for ones who have a license but no college degree. High turnover for guys on deck that have license and experience but office hires academy grads with no experience and license. Entire crews want 21:21 but office remains defiant and will not change. Refuses to pin units that were intended to be.

Pros

The pay is great and the benefits are good.

Cons

The culture of fear and the lack of work-life balance combined with little to no opportunity for growth make the pay begin to seem less valuable.
