Review for Ocean Department

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company is really good except the ocean department. The HR and AIR are the best departments. They are really helpful and amazing guide and teachers. The company is best if you remove the ocean department.

Cons

The ocean department is the worst department. Please do not go for this department, as your life will be hell and you will be in great trouble. The corporate members are worse in terms of handling pressure. Even if you will work for more than 16 hours, you work would not be recognised. And if you are taken as a teamlease, please don't go for it.

Business Outlook

Pros

Company overall has good benefits.

Cons

There is a systematic toxic environment within the compliance department. Lots of turn over. No proper training with huge expectations. No collaboration and ignorance by immediate supervisor. I would not recommend Ocean Import compliance department to no person. Worst streamline process. I have worked in the industry for six years and this is the most confusing department that hands lots of pressure and tension to the employees. No appreciation for any amount of work you do. So, anyone that has interest to join the department should be very well prepared for a great stressful journey and intimidation based management tactics. Lengthy con list but the above should cover the essence.
