Pros

Good pay traveling around the world is great

Cons

Everything is disorganized. You can ask a the same question to 10 different people & get 100 different answers. you're usually on ship at minimum for 4 months with people who have nothing better to do than stir trouble. Upper level meaning people who are above you pay grade look down on whoever is beneath them. You can get stuck home for months waiting on another assignment with no updates on when you'll get another ship.
