Aggressor offers benefits such as job mobility, employment stability, career growth, and advancement, as well as travel benefits to other yachts, river cruises, and lodges. We are a global family where everybody is welcome. Our staff comprises men and women hailing from many countries around the world and represent many cultures.
Mobility
We offer over 22 adventure programs in 16 countries across the globe with liveaboards, lodges, and river cruises. This means that there is the opportunity for staff to work in various parts of the world throughout their career.
Travel
After new staff has worked for one year, they are eligible to visit as a guest on other Aggressor liveaboards, signature lodges, or river cruises. We highly value the cross-training and destination knowledge of staff and encourage this activity.
Stability
Aggressor has been providing adventure travel opportunities for our guests since 1984. The company started with controlled growth as we perfected our programs. More recently, our growth has accelerated with the addition of new destinations and an expansion of our brands. Our dive liveaboard brand (Aggressor Liveaboards) is the largest dive liveaboard fleet in the world. We literally wrote the book on how to conduct liveaboard diving. Many of the destination licensees are family-run businesses where they work side by side with their staff every day. We have licensees and staff members who have been working with the organization for over 30 years.
Advancement
The key to success is operating under a very strict Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manual. Because of this standardization, staff can “learn the system” with our four brands, then if an opportunity for advancement opens, they may apply for that position. The skills and experience gained with one brand typically will cross over to other brands quite easily for staff.
