Pros

- Growth company with significant assets - From the outside, company looks like a good team to join - Money is decent. Beats unemployment

Cons

- Micromanagement on a level that I thought was only in fiction before working here. - Culture of fear, CYA, and excuse making. The first order of business is always to deflect blame. - Zero chance for advancement if you have skills. Skills and vision scare them - Rampant nepotism - Comically bad HR/IT/training/internal systems. The management does not care, and it shows. When questioned, they will ADMIT that they don't care, saying "people are lined up to work here". Not for long. - Promotions and management roles are given (not earned), and go to people who won't make waves or question management. There is no consideration of skill/ability/education. A "yes man" lacking abilition, curiosity, or willingness to grow the position is the perfect candidate for a long management career in KM Terminals. - CHEAP approach to *everything*, unless you are in the good ol' boys club

Pros

The pay was actually pretty good,

Cons

The management is terrible, and they’re selective when it comes to taking disciplinary action. Promotions are based on who you know, not on your skills or knowledge.
