Our story

A Place to Grow Your Career

Our companies are committed to safety and employee growth and development. We have a high 71% employee retention rate, in part because of opportunities for advancement. In 2021, 45% of appointments to Director or above positions were internal candidates. Our teams are diverse with 60% of our workforce women and underrepresented groups.

Saltchuk provides their employees with the opportunity to grow and develop. I feel like a part of the team rather than just a number or a box on the organizational chart. Saltchuk’s leadership team has known me by my first name for the entire 16 years I have worked here. Feeling like I am part of a family is important to me—it’s a feeling I would not have if I bounced around in my career.

There are several advantages Saltchuk offers from my perspective, and they’re why I haven’t sought out external opportunities. The company has tremendous leadership from the top down across all the business units I have interacted with and genuinely care about its people. There are numerous growth opportunities throughout the United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and the Caribbean. Also, Saltchuk leads in the markets it serves.

As I see it, the literal hundreds of employees who have been hired at my companies during my tenure have not only joined their own parent company, e.g. NorthStar Energy, Saltchuk Marine, TOTE, Saltchuk Aviation, Tropical, and Saltchuk Logistics, but they’ve been hired at an enterprise of networked companies. I view applicants from sister companies as ‘internal applicants,’ and they are given special consideration. When one comes to work for a Saltchuk company, he or she comes to work for the family business, and that is a very special place of belonging!
