Pros

Some very knowledgeable people on staff- unfortunately most are not being utilized appropriately. Outside events are usually enjoyable.

Cons

Too many chefs in the kitchen and most of the chefs never had any experience cooking! Company is mismanaged, with too many outsiders who are not from the industry making decisions without a proper understanding of the business or the ethical and legal requirements of the industry. While on paper the company may appear solvent, it is all smoke and mirrors as well as fancy accounting tricks. This is a supposed to be an international trade organization, specializing in Customs brokerage, freight forwarding and international trade compliance. Yet, the company flagrantly disregards many regulations themselves, often disregarding the intent of the rules they are supposed to follow while operating in "grey areas" that have yet to be adequately ruled upon. Which in turn causes unnecessary issues and consequences for the employees, company and customers alike. Clients are often unhappy with the service sold and the actual service provided. Work environment is often chaotic and disorganized. Overall, employees are treated disrespectfully and downright poorly by the company. Reorganizations, without warning, are way too common and frequent. You never know if your co-workers will be with you the next week. Turnover is outrageous in many departments. Comments from management to lower level staff are often patronizing and demeaning. Lack of communication or deliberate miscommunication is common place.

Pros

I am here 3 weeks and in this few weeks I have a great experience. I have a great team of managers, supervisor/advisor and CEO. They are very friendly and their services are very elevated. In a few weeks I have already spoke with a VIP of the company that is amazing for me. Many of their people are many years with the company. I can see myself staying with this company for a long time, as well. I am all in! Recommended 100% !!!

Cons

I have not seeing anything in this few weeks.
