Pros

Insight into the operations of businesses of Alaska

Cons

Managers had terrible leadership skills; they only care about the customer experience and not the internal employee experience. Hostile work environment, overall people were not happy. Do not recommend as a place to work.

As the leader over all of our Alaskan operations , I appreciate this candid feedback. While we are passionate about our customer’s experience, we are equally concerned about our employees’ experience. As a company, we work hard to hire and develop talented leaders, so your feedback is important to us. I would like to take you to lunch (on me) to gain more insight and understand more about your observations and experience. Please reach out to me directly. Regards, Grace Greene Alaska Vice President and General Manager

Pros

Great service provided to customers, good safety track record, minimal negative environmental impact, upgraded to new LNG ships which are ecologically better than the steam ships were. Value service to the company highly, with many people being with the company for years and years- signifying its a decent company to work for new build ships are harder to run than other ships so there's a high turnover of people, making advancement opportunities available only one ship sank so that's good.

Cons

ship sank in hurricane Joaquin, check USCG findings for faults, mostly the company's schedule and pressure. Office personnel aren't really top of the line. the ships are in port twice a week and apparently can't get replacement parts or safety gear, which is an issue with purchasing and ship management. Crewing personnel are blatantly incompetent and play favorites There's an ethics policy however it seems like a lot of backdoor dealing and cronyism still occurs. There's a lot of contractors and personnel who are friends of one of the directors who get huge contracts to do little to nothing.
