We are very steady working to get the drivers in the terminal and out in a timely manner with a focus on making sure all containers and vehicles/NICs are correct and ready to be stowed on the vessel. Our management staff are always their to help us when anything needs to be brought to their attention and are team is very diverse, therefore we all work together to get the vessel ready to sail. The most difficult part is not knowing each week what our schedule is going to be, and holding the gate open for extended amount of time for loads that at times don't make it in. I definitely have learned this is the most enjoyable job I've had just because I love what I do and love that everyday is different.

I worked on 2 of the ships ar a 3rd mate wich have now both been sold. The pay is good compaired to most ships, but you will almost definatly be signing up for a 20 year old ship. Everyone on the ships works very hard to upkeep the ship and if you are looking for an easy paycheck the fleet is probably not for you. There is a lot of upwards movment withing the mates positions and a great place to learn. 90 day contracts will easily turn in to 110 day trips in reality and the SIU have one of the lowest contracts in the union at this time of the post.

I started at TOTE as a temp employee and was hired on full time to work as part of a program team. During my entire time with TOTE, I was shown a significant amount of support, kindness and learning opportunities. 
The Jacksonville office offers a genuine family-like culture within a fast paced environment where every day is different. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with TOTE and would definitely recommend this company to others.

Overall a solid company to work for.  Perhaps there is too much middle management at the field level which makes it cumbersome to accomplish tasks.  A very performance related company.  

My job entails managing the crew and work being done to maintain and operate the vessel assigned to me.  I identify work, prepare work orders and advise contractors on how to perform their tasks.

The compensation is good, but the distance from home and family takes a toll.

Great work/life balance, many company-paid benefits and paid time off, many opportunities to share new ideas with approachable leadership team, and lots of training opportunities to develop yourself in your current role and prepare for the future. 

People are really passionate about the work and enjoy working with each other. I'm biased, but there really is something special here. 

I've worked at TOTE for 12 years and can't imagine being anywhere else.  The company focuses on the employee's experience and provides generous benefits, generous time off and paid holidays (you start with four weeks off!).  They even give you your birthday as a paid day off.  Management is dedicated to safety, innovation, and getting the job done effectively and ethically.  They invest in my development and provide opportunities for growth and development.

My job as a floater was stressful a lot of the time. You have to remember an exstensive amount of knowledge and series of numbers. Multiple computer systems, and a lot of excel spreadsheets. Management was alright as people but lacked skills to make this easier. It was a very defined line between clerks (union) and tote management (non union)
