You're "trained" then learn later most of what you were taught is wrong or changed. Instead of teaching/helping you, they berate you in front of others when you do something wrong. Depending which manager you talk with, you'll get a different response/answer on how to do things. Constant revolving door with drivers and dispatch so always short staffed. You show up for work, and get treated worse than ones who constantly call off or always late. I guess because you're there, you're an easier target?. Out of date equipment or no equipment needed to do the job correctly, like jumper cables. What tow truck doesn't carry jumper cables when it's a service they offer?? Yet, some trucks don't have them.  PTO is 16 hrs through the first year.. less than a day and a half. Many there are family or long time friends and are a cliche. Newbies are an outsider and treated as such. Very unwelcoming and unorganized environment that can be almost hostile at times. I could go on and on. All I will say is, the turnover rate speaks for itself.

This is a great company, lots of room for some improvement in pay but it’s still good money.I was a too deckhand at the port of Decatur when I was laid off due to the COVID-19.

The work schedule is one week of days,work off Tuesday afternoon and returning Wednesday night for the week of nights, work off Wednesday morning and enjoy a week off

20 days on and 10 days off. Love it! You do have to work in inclement weather and conditions. You also had to do your own laundry. Parker towing provides a good and safe workplace for everyone. The meals are prepared by the engineers and deckhands. There was always plenty of work and plenty of food to enjoy. The boat was keep clean every day inside and out.

I’ve been here three years now and the pay needs to come up a lot more then where it is today I’ve seen over companies making more money then I am at a lower place in the chain like first deck or second deck it’s kinda sad to be honest I would expect more from a company who relies on their workers to make them the money they put in their pockets 

It’s hard work and the pay scale is not fair, ex: an employee with MANY years makes two dollars more then a new hire. And we are talking between $14-$16 per hour. Not many opportunities to advance since most jobs are labor. This applies to dock workers, boat workers on the other hand have more opportunities.

-hardwork
-I learned how to converse wit Co workers  better
-management is Great
-the work place culture is very organized 
-hardest part being away from family for weeks
-the part u enjoy the most is completing 20 days on water

This is one of my favorite jobs ever. The environment is comfortable and coworkers are like family. If your great with people and can own up to your mistakes when you make them, you can be around for a long time.
