Pros
Company is competitive with there pay, and seems to be growing with C-Innovation's acquisition of Rovop and Chouest's (parent company) acquisition of Kystdesign. CI's fleet is steadily contracted for large operators such as BP and Murphy.
Cons
Fleet is confined to being on Chouest vessels with the exception of a select few. This brings subpar living conditions onboard for many. Nepotism is the rule for any and all movement. With Superintendents dictating your vertical movement. Which leads to road blocks for many talented individuals as they are perceived as threats and others that lack knowledge being pushed for promotions. And with the lack of vessel/system numbers promotions are only available when one becomes open. Inventory controls are fumbled at best and adequate spares are managed solely at the discretion of the supervisors and Superintendents onboard. Which can cause gaps in onboard spares during critical downtime. Overall the fleet lacks experience in technical ability and work outside of basic IMR.
