Good company but declining culture and evidence of age discrimination.

Pros

A long standing company and leader in their industry. Worked with some of the most wonderful people and executives of anywhere I have been. Great benefits.

Cons

Several years ago my review would have been 5 stars. But with the retirement of the previous CEO (Craig Philip) and hiring of new SVP HR, the culture changed drastically and negatively. No longer a family atmosphere with focus on rewarding the loyal, experienced, and high performing associates. The company has moved to modern emphasis on employee satisfaction by HR which has hurt performance, long-term success, retention of knowledge and is having the opposite effect on organizational morale. Experienced, good managers are being thrown under the bus for the sake of baby-sitting the emotions of the younger, less professionally mature workforce. The culture is now more political and with little focus on rewarding longevity and knowledge which is what made Ingram the best company in the industry years ago.

Pros

This job is very physically demanding. Not for the faint of heart. Its a good way to break into the maritime industry as they are always hiring. You can use it as a stepping stone to get sea days towards upgrading your merchant marine document or you can make a career here and work your way up. Great Benefits

Cons

The company is large and very top heavy. There is little movement at the top and the wheelhouse and engineer positions have long wait times and you might never be able to get there. Some people have been waiting for more than 10 years and should probably give up.

Pros

28/28. Benefits. Will pay for your travel which is greyhound bus and let me tell you it sucks

Cons

If you make it to there training center let me tell you it is not a training center. They are seeing how you work. And if they don't like what they see you don't get hired. Even after doing physical and drug testing. Also if you are out of the oil industry don't even try no matter how well you do in there circus show you will not be hired. Saw 21 ppl out of 42 only get hired.
