City Ferry Reviews

This job will absolutely DESTROY your personal life. Completely. Utterly. Horrendous hours that, with commute, could see you dedicate upwards of 14-15 hours of your day to work. You WILL be physically, mentally, and even emotionally exhausted after even just a few days. And that's where the real problems come in: This entire service was rushed WAY before it was ready. The crew demands are absolutely unrealistic with the numbers there are to work with, and the operational tempo is only growing with new routes being slapped on within mere months of the service's launch. If you bite the bullet and jump into the chaos, expect to spend, at minimum, 6 day's a week working without a day off, and it's quite normal(As you'll find out rather quickly) for folks to work well over 10-20 days without a day off. If you have a wife and kids, be prepared to never see them(Not awake, anyway.). If you're single, be prepared to stay single and rarely, if ever, get to see your friends. Days off are few and far between, and often wedged between a shift that ends at almost midnight, and a shift that starts as early as 3AM. I can't stress enough how utterly ridiculous the scheduling is, and unless you're REALLY passionate about the work, you'll be hunting for new work within a month or two.

Not a great place if you have an education and have future plans for professional growth. They don't consider qualifications as a necessity. Need to work your way up. Work life balance is non existent. Poor communication from upper management leaving a lot of decisions and plans in disarray.
