Pros

Great Salary, Remuneration and systems

Cons

I have had one of my worst working experience working in this company being managed by an unprofessional manager followed by a complacent next tier director. The company needs to focus on being more cross functional and communicating effectively throughout the organization. I've encountered many interesting experiences of unprofessional behaviour, table banging, foul language abuse in the office as well as untrained people managers. The company does not have a hire and fire culture and seniority can often be abused. Internal regional split politics reign over the organization and often enough services and performances to customers get compromised because of cultural issues and personal objectives.

Pros

Capable and open-minded manage that facilitates communication and sharing of ideas. Work-life balance is seldom a contentious issue. Many opportunities to take on responsibilities.

Cons

Poor remuneration in comparison with industry standards. Can suffer from excessive bureaucracy and administration. Often in the shadow of the bigger liner business.

Pros

The many areas of the international logistics that you can become involved in. In 3.5 years I have learned about EDI, rates, various cultures, managing a supply chain, multitude of processes, and systems. The opportunity is available from APLL is you have the drive.

Cons

They need improvements in their internal communcations. Being global company information tends to be held at higher levels. The intranet, The Helms has improved, but it still is not a replacement for direction communications.
