Good Place to Work Overall Would Recommend

Senior ocean export coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay but get it up front because raises are not garanteed. Possibility for advancement & growth. Casual atmosphere which is really nice, not stuffy. Younger employees mostly in their 30's. Overall good people and cool staff.

Cons

Heavy hours, raises are not guaranteed or impressive. You will work OT but that is a industry norm. More time spent here than at home. Department issues can affect more than they should. Some leadership is great and others are terrible.

Business Outlook

Pros

The coworkers and team dynamic in my department of 4.

Cons

Lack of help from the rest of Air Export Department. Not much a “team player” vibe amongst the rest of the team. Tend to look the other way while we were gasping to catch our breath. Felt almost exploited for being efficient, capabilities and willingness without compensation in the time working there.
