Vessel Pay while trained, from Trainee to Steersman I have worked different jobs in the past, and I have found that working for Kirby suits me best. I don't know of many companies that will pay while training or offer you the opportunities for advancement like Kirby does. The pay that Kirby offers very competitive as well. The benefits (life insurance, 401K, health, retirement, etc.) are also very good considering the fact that other jobs I had don't offer them. I look forward to a long and rewarding career with Kirby.
