Pros of working at Marathon Petroleum
A little bit higher pay than competitors
Cons of working at Marathon Petroleum
There is a massive failure of management from the COO down. The company strategy is not clear and at times it seems there is not one at all. There is little room for advancement. Everyone is overworked and burnt out. The employees have made this clear in several surveys but management is not taking steps to make it better. We are constantly denied when we request additional help. Upper management pins all the problems on low level management as scapegoats. There main focus is Diversity and Inclusion which would be fine, but the problem is that they are doing it to fill quotas tied to bonuses all while treating their current employees like dirt.

what is it like traveling up and down the miississippi all the time? any cool places to visit on the river?
I love traveling all the time. It's always different and the weather makes it not boring for one min. Places to visit would be St. Louis, Memphis, and on the Ohio river would be Louisville!

How do I get into this type of job?
Well there are many different companies that have towboats. AEP, Agrichem, Enterprise, Florida Marine, and Kirby are just a few river barge companies. For Marathon you have to apply online when they have the deckhand position open, which is kinda not so often lol but I'm pretty sure they are about to start hiring deckhands soon I think..

What does a normal work day entail? How did you get this job?
Normal work day consists of a lot of cleaning! Line handling and throwing is a pretty big part. And when out on the barges you're messing with winches and wires all day. Got the job mainly through family because they have all been cooks for marathon.
