Going down hill
|
|
Use to be a lot but with the latest management changes over the last few years they have really gone down hill.
|
Long hours they do not pay for any out of town expenses. They do pay a per deim of 380 per week but that if you only wor a full 7 days and we all know you cannot even rent a bad hotel for 380 a week. if you work less than the 7 days its pro rated

Pay is great, you get a lot of over time. I also feel like I got a feel for what the job is like because they throw you right into a project.

Used to be great, now not sure it the frustration is worth it
|
|
Great history, cool business, interesting work, respected company, decent pay and benefits
|
Between the retirement buy-outs and then moving Corporate, most of the old timers, experience, culture and family aspect is gone. It’s like a revolving door with most of the corp side coming from oil and gas with no dredging experience, and then bailing a few months later when O&G offers more money. Project folks now have too little experience, management sees employees as replaceable commodities and overhead. Way too many manual processes, so change is welcome, but too much change too fast without proper training isn’t helpful. They keep pushing tech but the IT team was cut and most of it outsourced, so there aren’t enough people to help with the technology they keep pushing out, and the outsourced helpdesk is useless. Management wants more more more, but wants it without spending money or hiring more people, so they just want the people still here to work harder and do more with less. It’s a frustrating place to work right now.

I know finances were tight, but they’re getting better - you have to hire back some of the positions that were reduced, and you need to prioritize keeping the existing employees, even if that means getting them help and paying them more to match the new Houston scale. You also need to stop bringing in external new hires for management positions and promote from within.

Projects are ALWAYS Working
|
|
One major upside at GLDD is that projects are always working. New engineers get to go the field within weeks of being hired and get to help on active construction projects. Because we have so many ongoing projects, upper management allows employees to contribute and make decisions at a much higher rate compared to giant construction companies.
|
The dredges work 365 days / year so the company, as a whole, never sleeps. That means issues are always coming up, even during weekends and holidays, so it can be hectic catching up.

Promote within the company, instead of hiring outsiders at a higher pay for the lower guy to train a higher paid new hire.
Example-#1 a Deckhand shouldn’t have to train a Newly Hired Captin that has no experience. Just A good resume that’s mostly falsified.
Example #2 An 5 year experienced oiler shouldn’t have to train a newly hired employee hired as A Chief Engineer that has no background. We need more than pencil and paper pushers. Lack or knowledgeability and having a solid Mechanical back ground only gets you so far.
I see no dedication there’s only a few but allot of the surroundings have no initiative.
