Pros

The people one the deck plates are some of the most solid people I ever had the pleasure to work with. I didn't get along with everyone, but that's life. The work is fast paced and I learned a lot working there. The prevailing wage was amazing, but people get used to it and think they deserve that pay all the time.

Cons

Frank Foti, despite his well intentions, is unaware of the backstabbing and favoritism that occurs in the upper management. I worked there for 5 years. Although I recieved compliments on my work and finished jobs that no one else wanted to step foot on I only got a 2 dollar raise. I know it sounds like complaining, but I got that raise my first year. After that I couldn't get a raise to save my life. My work was well received by inspectors and boat owners alike. But because I didn't go out of my way to brown nose the bosses I didn't get a bump in pay. I'm not the only one either. Don't get me wrong, I'm very grateful to have worked there, but I moved on to another company that pays better and treats me better.

Pros

Remote work for office folks, competitive compensation

Cons

Definitely still very much a boys club, strange and strong ties, questionable decisions by middle managers and some executives.
