Unorganized- Racist European Upper Management - No Room for Growth

Operations supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It’s a paycheck, and benefits are okay.

Cons

No work-life balance, clueless unethical Operational Management Team, horrible HR Department, you will find out 80% of leadership is lying about credentials and qualifications, and having a degree means you are a threat. For an international company, you have some very racist European members of upper-level management who have never worked a day in their life in logistics. Unsafe working conditions and unrealistic expectations. It's a reason why they are not publicly traded and on not on the Forbes list.

Worst company till date, Developers never join this company

Team leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Still searching Pros in TSC.

Cons

1. Environment not like tech company, even it is not a product company still it is supply chain company. so technical person not join this 2. They are using a approx 20 years old product developed by Infor and now Infor is not working on that. 3. Never expect work life balance, management push to work more than 12 hours. 4. Team is not using agile methodology. It is working like service based startup. 5. Lot of politics in management, you never know what they want to with you. 6. They collect points against you and at time of appraisal they will inform you that points are sufficient not to do appraisal. Note: If you are developer never join this company

When management team changes, everything changes

National account manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It used to be better company

Cons

Not all managements care about what you're doing. They simply focus on the target and force you to do the job without product or management support. Operations and implementations team don't function.
