Pros

Security, salaries - compared to other firms in the shipping business, colleagues, young and dynamic environment, expatriate contracts available

no clear idea about the direction to be followed; lowering productivity due to implementation of very bad information systems; creation of useless managerial roles; complete inadequacy of human resources management; no incentive to value creation; no customer care; massive worldwide staff rotation without meaning or advantages for the organization; not effecctive training

Pros

I used to love working here. I love the people I work with. The level of clients we get to work with is great. National, International brands.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations, salaries are not even keeping up with inflation (which is not a "merit" increase, additional responsibilities for no additional compensation, frequent layoffs and offshoring. When layoffs occur, there are always several positions / responsibilities that are not backfilled and no longer owned by anyone. Changing work from home / hybrid / full time back in office policies continue to change. Employees no longer trust the leadership. There is no stability. There is no incentive to do great work. It has not been valued.
