Six Maritime

During my time at Six Maritime, half of it I spent it with direct management and getting training while the other half I was floating with no one to rely on, and figure it out as I go. The pay was not good at all, it was a paycheck to paycheck survival mode, but the convenience of the flexibility as an office employee worked out very well for me with my work/life balance. I never knew what was going on in my department but I was expected to know things even though I wasn’t continually training by not having direct supervisor. I did learn a lot at this company, & I am grateful for the opportunity despite my parting, but Six Maritime needs to do better on the way they treat their employees. There is no room for growth, once you’re an office employee, that’s pretty much as high as you can go unless they create a new position(s). You are expected to do more outside of your job description and not get compensated for it. Reminder that employees are replaceable, employers do not care about your circumstances in life, HR is there for the company, not for you. If you are not fit to continue being employee, you’re gone in an instant. 

Good Luck to 6M, I’m proud to no longer being in the toxic and hostile environment that it is now. 

Work is consistent even during pandemic. Management is reasonable and understanding in most situations. Honesty and communication is a key factor while working here. Coverage is 24/7 with 2 personnel per post on the water. This leads to over time when people call off. 

Pay raises (if any) do not match inflation rates so quickly becoming middle of the road for typical security but on par for the work required. Promotions are based off personal application to learning and self motivation. Must be able to learn and self manage with flexible schedule. 

Never had an issues with pay. Was always paid on time and accurately with OT. Mandatory trainings are lacking structure or valued information. 

Vessels need engine overhauled and equipment brought up to proper working standards. 

Overall good place to work and suitable to live in San Diego. Don't listen to the website, it is a marketing ploy of possibilities the company could have if they apply themselves to better contracts such as overseas.

Advancements are not what you are told when hired. They don’t have room at the top. So the price range will be the bottom amount not the top they say you could get to if you promote.  Management is a good ole boys club and is horribly run at the top. They don’t care about their employees and are purely for profit. You’ll be stuck doing overtime time and time again because the retention rate here is insane. So getting a proper relief on time is few and far,be prepared to not make any plans and if you have a family it makes it even worse. PTO here is a joke. They only give you 3 days. That’s it and putting in leave won’t happen due to the retention rate and turnover they have. Don’t waste your time with these snake oil salesmen. 

This is my first civilian job out of the military in about 10 years and the experience has been extremely enlightening. Learning the ins and outs of human resources, contracting, budgeting, and time management in a complex industry has been a ton of fun. The challenges this job offers keep me stimulated and allow me to come up with creative solutions. Plus my coworkers are great to be around.

Six Maritime is a small company expanding everyday and working towards obtaining more contracts. I have seen unarmed guards promote to superviors in less than a year. Upper managment is always looking for anyone with leadership traits. They are more than willing to help anyone out with advancement or working through personal issues. This is a great place to work if you want to be noticed for your hard work and dedication. Here your not just a number but everyone even the VP knows you by name. I highly recommend this company for anyone wantig to build on their leadship skills. 

The work is contract security work, not special operations in austere in environments! But if you are in the field of contract security then this is the place to work. It isn't easy, but the pay is good and you are supported by peers and management. The people I have seen that quit either couldn't handle overtime when sometimes we need to surge or they were just chronic "job hoppers" bouncing from job to job always complaining about something. 
The people that stay, we're a fairly tight team and get it done. This is a great company.

Low pay for potential high risk work, poor scheduling with the worst hours, they force you to stay over when they cant find a relief because of a call off. The upper management is the absolute worst, everything that occurs they have the final say. When presented with a solutions to problems they deny it (thus the final say) or even try a solution to a problem.
The only good things i got from this company was the amazing friendships with coworkers and this job can look good on a resume. There is more however it turn out to be a book.

I've worked for some toxic places in my almost 30 years in the workforce. This was like being in the Navy with ZERO benefits. Manager is a fake SEAL, and can't get the schedule done the week OF. When you ask for days off, which had to be 30 days in advance, he'd deny it because he's too slow to figure out how to redo a schedule. Company website states it hires SWCC and SEAL operators, yet there are NONE working there. Most didn't have a military background. If you want to be treated like an 18 year old boot, work for them.

I did a few contractual jobs with this company and the pay was great, and the hotel accommodations were very nice. However, the company lacked communication, like a lot of companies do, and strong leadership. Also, they do not have your back as a captain in circumstances which are unfair and unjust. Overall, the leadership doesn’t have your back or care about you, at least not in my case they didn’t. They don’t have the respect or stability for Captains that companies really should have. 

Six Maritime Management gives me the freedom to choose my hours in my position. I am willing to go the extra mile because they make me feel valued and understand people.  They believe in taking care of their people first and the mission/task will take care of itself! 

This is a true growth oriented job and quickly becoming the industry standard to emulate.
