Johnny Gaskins and Josh Gerlof - Rigger Lyon Shipyard Employee Review

The people are the heart and soul of this organization.

The people are also the root cause of most of the issues with this organization.

the few people I worked with

**Fire people constantly for reasons that can not be proved. **Pay is HORRIBLE **They don't pay their bills so contractors are negative on the shipyard, try to bully employees for payment Working at Lyon Shipyard was a disappointing experience dominated by a toxic culture fueled by gossip, favoritism, and poor leadership. The waterfront operated more on rumors than facts, creating an environment where misinformation spread faster than official communication, leading to confusion, mistrust, and unnecessary tension among employees. Important updates were often learned through word of mouth rather than from management, who lacked transparency and professionalism. Advancement was rarely based on merit and more often on who you were friendly with, while leadership constantly operated in crisis mode instead of building systems to support long-term success. Overall, the unstable, rumor-driven environment made it an unhealthy place to work, and I would not recommend Lyon Shipyard to anyone looking for a respectful and growth-oriented workplace.
