Pros

I'm sorry, but there aren't any pros here. I was misled at the interview and refused a position in another company and then felt trapped here.

Cons

Where to start? It's a total mess there. The person who interviewed me was fired few days after I started working there, there is no planning, no culture, nothing really works well there. I don't even include this experience on my CV cause it was a joke. I will try just to resume a few points: They lie to you at the interview; if a customer needs help, there's nothing in the system that will allow you to do anything about it and you can't transfer the call to anyone - so be ready to listen to angry customers shouting at you - and they are right. The logistics system is also full of flaws and that's why 99% of calls are from angry people. Honestly, only if you don't have any ambition in life of if you don't care about any work ethic you should work here. Only the masters of gossip can endure in a place like this.

Pros

People working there are very devoted and give their 120%, and usually great to work with, manage to try to have fun together at work even though not easy everyday. You definitely do not see days go by. Job always has a part of ''new situations'' that makes it at challenge. Near management (operational) do their best and motivates their team into teamworking. Insurance plan available.

Cons

Procedures are heavy, leads to lack of efficiency and overwork. Hard to coordinate different departments together... there's a sense of ''not my business'' which makes it hard to work together and make things really happen for the clients...Experienced within a same terminal and between terminals. HR management is considered as coordinating pays, SST, and collective agreement for dock staff more than anything else....there's poor connection between higher management and staff. Poor recognition of your work - but by your near management -, pay raises under IPC and no real link with performance. No skill development for office staff, and very few options for career progression. Chances are: the job you got there first is the job you'll leave years after.
