Pros

A lot of hardworking individuals, 4 x 12+hour work week, hands on, roll up the sleeves type job. Plan to argue amongst the team, make split decisions quickly and think beyond the box.

Cons

Unfair pay amongst employees. Some new hires are being paid than some seasoned vets of 2+ years. Lack of team work between departments and shifts. Lack of advancement at times unless you work the vessel operations. Seldom cross training. Claim to live by culture and value but don't see that to be true.

Pros

The pay is not bad but the hours can be long. There are some smart, hard-working people working for the company. Global company with opportunities for short term assignments over seas. 4 day work weeks for superintendents.

Cons

Long hours in a high-stress environment. Union labor can be difficult to deal with. Managers are over-worked putting in 60-75 hour weeks. Promotions tend to go to the wrong people at times.

Pros

Base Salary is above average. Experience managing a large area. Opportunities to grow within the company. Relaxed environment was a pleasure to work in.

Cons

Senior Management some of the worst I've experienced. Promotions are extremely slow and definitely operate off the "Good Old Boy" System. Not compensated for extra-time put in (as compared with other Terminals) Senior Management expects 12+ hr days as the norm, but they won't tell you that.
