Pros

Trying to get its act together and finally focusing on just a few industries instead of everything under the sun.

Cons

Senior management is completely out of touch. Very much of an aristocratic cum old school industrial attitude towards relating to employees (subjects). Next to no accountability for poor performers - many managers with connections "put out to pasture" in unnecessary roles. This fosters a culture of unaccountability and breeds contempt among talented younger employees.

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
