Pros

Shift work is 2 weeks on/off rotational work from May to August with full-time pay plus overtime and travel benefits. Challenging, dynamic work. No two situations are the same. Must be able to work in a team, sometimes endure harsh climates, and be adaptable. Pay is $15.50/hour base rate. Great for anyone interested in working in the medical field because you get TONS of first hand experience treating patients at a basic level of emergency care.

Cons

Phoenix Pay System has affected student in the past, but management works hard to mitigate pay issues.

No international travel. Good food. Good cabins. Good ‘watch’ system. 28-day rotation. Plenty of overtime.

Cons

“Clicky” subculture amongst older crew-mates does cause quite a lot of controversy while at-sea
