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

decent benefits that start from day one decent pay plenty of overtime, if that's your thing stable

Cons

rampant nepotism and cronyism no set schedule no recognition for quality work performance and problem solving weak leadership no respect for employees poor work/life balance unless you're management lots of gossip and backstabbing poor communication between employees and management If you aren't related or friends to someone in management, your only chance to advance is to kiss up to management. It doesn't matter about the quality of work or experience that you bring to the table. If you are too good at your job you are more than likely to be viewed as a threat and be held back instead of being viewed as an asset. This is due to the lack of qualifications, caring and work ethic that the majority of area and terminal management has. If you are an ambitious person who takes personal pride in doing a good job and wants to advance in a company by doing it the right way(working hard, learning everything you can and being dependable), look elsewhere. This is a stepping stone job at best.
