Pros

Unfortunately there aren’t any pros.

Cons

No one helps each other, so we aren’t able to help customers - we lose a worrying amount of customers a month. No responses from operations so you are left guessing. Usually have to work overtime (without overtime pay). Complaints aren’t taken seriously (racist comments were made by a member of staff, this was raised to HR and all they did was pass it onto the manager who said it can’t be said again!) - This is disappointing and disgusting, especially for how much they say they don’t tolerate this language and are an inclusive company. Also women seem to be treated differently to men here, when I speak to female colleagues, they say males colleagues (not all of course, but the majority) are usually very rude and treat them like they know nothing. Do not check on staff at all - many colleagues now suffer with their mental health. Company is too greedy - admits to taking on more work than they can cope with but then does nothing about it, which causes more stress for staff as we don’t get answers. Constant complaints from customers - majority of the time the customer is in the right, so it is very hard to defend the company. Drivers and operations managers aren’t held account and should be. We are very rarely able to help customers but are expected to then speak to them about other products and get more of their business? Company does whatever it can to save money. Customers are expected to wait for us with no answers when there order is overdue, this should NEVER be the case - Orders can be delayed up to two weeks as well. Not allowed to ask questions/escalate orders until mid-afternoon. - usually don’t respond so customers always go without answers.

Pros

World Kinect has strong brand recognition in the energy sector and access to valuable customer data. There are talented individuals across different teams who genuinely want to improve processes and drive results. The company also has established relationships with large enterprise clients, which creates potential for growth if leveraged correctly.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of a clear, modern vision for marketing and how technology should be used to drive growth, improve customer experience, and reduce churn. Marketing is often treated as a support function rather than a strategic driver of revenue, and there is limited investment in the tools, data infrastructure, and experimentation needed to build scalable demand generation and lifecycle programs. Decision-making can feel reactive rather than strategic, and there is often a disconnect between leadership priorities and the realities of modern digital marketing. As a result, opportunities to leverage data, automation, and customer insights to create measurable growth are frequently missed. Another concern is that advancement and recognition sometimes appear to be influenced more by internal relationships than by performance or talent. This can make it challenging for high-performing employees to feel fully valued or to see a clear path for growth within the organization.
