Pros

There are a few decent benefits and remote work

Cons

They are outsourcing almost all work to Costa Rica to cut costs. So many politics here. If you are good at talking and making yourself look important, you will get promoted while the ones actually doing the work are passed over. Fear based culture due to all the lay-off's and outsourcing to Costa Rica and other LATAM countries. The new grad program is a complete joke. Clueless new grads are brought in thinking they deserve the world, and try to tell the experience people how things need to be done. News flash - they are rejects from other top tier companies. The new grads need babysitting for 2 -3 years, and then are promoted to higher level positions to try and market to Universities, but the reality is they are not deserving at all and severely lack the experience. If they aren't causing a nightmare for the more experienced employees, managers or talent and development - they are leaving for other opportunities. HR and the recruiters are an absolute joke. They will act like your friend and tell you anything you want to hear, but really DO NOT care one bit about you or your career and will purposely hold you back in terms of salary and promotions.

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.
