Challenging and high-stress environment, but great teammates and supportive management - Commodity Manager Tradin Organic Employee Review

Growing company and constantly evolving, so exciting in that regard. Co-workers are friendly and helpful. Managers are provided with the unique experience of truly managing a book of business from day-to-day operations to long-term commercial planning. Company is over-exceeding expectations, in terms of revenue, profit and margin within the past two years running.

Salary for the amount of stress is OK - could be better. Bonus structure is low and vanilla in nature. Hours can be long and company structure is not your traditional trade house, which complicates things and creates delays. Long-term vision from hierarchy can be confrontational to the day-to-day requirements and necessities of a commodity/ingredient book. Ingredient book needs constant supervision when integrating lower-level employees responsible for operational needs. Certain days and weeks can be very stressful, constantly plugging holes or scraping by.

Good people, fun atmosphere and ability to learn a lot.

Extremely low pay compared to market rate. Will hire new employees for 30-40K more than existing ones for less experience and same job, Refuse to pay employees who show loyalty to company. If you want more pay, you have to leave and come back.
