Pros
The people you work with become life long connections and the experience you gain is paramount in the logistics career path.
Cons
I swear I don't even know where to start. In my time spent with RIM one supervisor in particular made my life and everyone else's life that wasn't in this person's "special clique" a living hell. I can't count on both hands and feet how many times I was insulted by this person with statements I could have outright sued this company for, but since the founders of this company have their heads deeply planted where the creator did not intend sunshine, this person will remain in a position that she has no business in. Another individual has turned this company into what I look at his experiment to see how many employees they can lose before they have to close the doors. In my time with RIM I watched 50 or more people resign or be fired from this company all because of the new polices implemented by the above mentioned person. Before I left the pay was below industry standard, raises were frozen with a possible raise increase of 3% annually if one was to be offered a raise again, and the worst part is they want you to be happy about the horrible treatment. The last thing I want to say about the above mentioned individual is that he is down right scum and possibly crazy. The individual likes to have monthly branch meetings where he reinforces that we were not getting raises, how we were not meeting standards, and a special few would be handed a $5 dollar bill for going above and beyond for the company. I'm not kidding about that, a person making 3 times your salary hands you a $5 dollar bill after telling you your not getting a raise. I don't know about you, but I didn't go to college to feel like a "lady of the night" at my job. If you can get your foot in the door with any other company please do, for every other freight forwarding/customs person please do not work at this company.
