WATCH OUT - Nationwide Centralization

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers, just like family. Local managment great, very supportive in helping you learn as much as possible.

Cons

Currently going through nationwide centralizaion with brokerage, ocean document turnovers, ISF filings, quotes, deliveries, a.k.a. pretty much everything is being centralized to only a handful of locations. Branches will be left to only handle customer service, not process shipments. No annual raises for years, long hours and no opportunities for growth due to branches being stripped of most duties. Dumbing down of the work by creating "factories" on only a handful of locations.

Pros

International company with prestige among the import / export environment. It provides a good service to clients. You will have the opportunity to interact with foreign offices, no matter in which sector of the company you are in.

Cons

There is little or non care about the employees. Constantly asking for training but it is never provided. Managers know this and they're pushing for more training but the directors don't consider it necessary.
