Pros

Good strategic direction. Decent amount of e learning and webinars for self development. Stable company in uncertain times throughout history. Good place to learn and be exposed to freight forwarding business.

Cons

Salary way below market rate (15% to 30% lower) , even for a fresh university graduate. Operational teams do not full ownership of their processes. Few and weak cross functional team collaboration. Old fashion, toxic workaholic mentality where high performers are doing 2 to 4 people's roles in hopes to get recognized and rewarded but in reality, they are not. Poor work life balance with a minimum of 2 hours OT required everyday, even Saturdays and Sundays. Management focused more on results and not team's personal and career development.

Pros

Not a single one comes to mind

Cons

I don't think there is enough words for how absolutely horrid the management is in Detroit. They do not care about you as a person. They smile in your face then break your morale, the very little we have left. They tell you to come to them when you need help or with any questions then make you feel like a burden for asking them a question. Literally, verbally exasperated when replying or they will belittle you for not knowing something. They drone on and on about being a team then destroy the morale. They also love to tell you how "transparent" they are then conveniently forget to inform you of changes that affect your life and schedule.
