Pros

Benefits were overall good and most people who have been there awhile are helpful while others are too busy to help

Cons

They don’t want to automate or improve any of their process and are stuck in their ways. The focus is always on acquiring new ship contracts, never investing capital in how ancient their processes are. Their software systems are completely outdated, excel isn’t strong enough to run some of these reports, hard work gets deleted because master files are augmentable. None of the systems they have in place are intuitive and no one challenges this unless they’re new to the company. You will be doing plenty of things outside of your job description and at a low pay. You’ll be doing what seems like endless menial tasks. They don’t want to hire the proper roles needed to function. And if you don’t set boundaries expect to be working the whole day through, non stop. Expect to be contacted while you’re on PTO if no one bothers to learn the processes that only you know. Leadership doesn’t even know how to use systems to look at business financials. No onboarding or training whatsoever. No orientation. Overall a very disorganized company with toxic leadership and nepotism

Pros

I’ve had such a positive experience with Starboard. From the very beginning, the team has been welcoming, professional, and incredibly supportive. The environment feels collaborative, fast-paced, and genuinely motivating, and it’s clear that there’s a strong culture of growth and teamwork behind everything they do. What stood out to me most is how much care goes into both the employee and client experience. Everyone I’ve interacted with has been kind, knowledgeable, and willing to help, which makes such a difference when starting a new opportunity. I’m really excited to continue learning and growing with a company that values people, communication, and excellence the way Starboard does. Grateful for the opportunity and looking forward to what’s ahead!

Cons

The pace can definitely be fast at times, especially while learning new systems and processes, but it also creates a great opportunity for growth and development. There’s a lot to learn in the beginning, which can feel overwhelming at first, but the team is supportive and willing to help you succeed. Like any growing company, balancing multiple priorities is part of the experience, but it keeps the work dynamic and engaging.
