Pros

The engineering and quality department.

Cons

Managers feel like they can bully you. Managers are very negative towards certain individuals. The place is so untidy and bird faeces is literally everywhere. When it rains, the place basically floods, but dont worry, they use tarpaulin to cover the main electrics. Some people are promoted to different roles, because they go for drinks with certain managers on the weekend. They love to watch the security cameras to catch people out.Certain managers (Production & Quality) like to try to bully/intimidate you quite a lot. There's a lot of snakes in there, do your job and come home.

Pros

The actual job (IWOC) is pretty cool. It’s very interesting and spending time offshore seeing how things work is actually fascinating. That’s the only pro. The only place I would recommend to work under would be Scott which is the selling manager.

Cons

This place has a very toxic environment. People have a mentality that they will climb alerting on your back. Will backstab you any chance they get. Very poor management. Poor communication from the engineers, to upper management to shop supervisors which ends up hurting the technicians on a day to day basis. There’s a lot of favoritism in this job and nepotism. Everyone is pretty much related which makes this a poor work culture, environment. I saw a recent job post for service techs which says “28 days” offshore. That’s a straight up lie. If there’s no reliefs you’ll be out there for 40+ days. I was given the “this is a family” speech during my interview. Yeah, I don’t want any part of it. Theres a high turnover for this position for a reason. -Racism is a real thing in this place. Previous general manager was fired because of it. This work place did not have a bullying/harassment policy until 2023. If that says anything.
