Pros

Flexibility is the only thing that keeps people employed here, because there’s definitely no room for growth, no structure, and lacks any type of organization.

Cons

Upper management gets away with retaliation against employees, embezzlement, and gross mismanagement. They have no clue how to manage a boat company. It’s a constant CIRCUS and somebody is going to end up getting killed in the fleet if this company continues to be “managed” like it is. Go elsewhere. WAKE UP, HR and protect Genesis Energy from the executives at Genesis Marine. It’s a sinking ship.

Pros

The pay was good. Benefits could be better.

Cons

Ineffective management with lack of communication, unclear expectations, and limited growth opportunities unless part of an exclusive group. Current management does not care about its employees.
