Pros

-Salary was paid on time -On the rare occassion staff were allowed to leave an hour early e.g. at month end to make up the significant hours of overtime.

Cons

-Most staff are significantly overworked in the finance team, when this is raised as an issue to management, this is repeatedly ignored and staff are informed that they are not working "efficiently". Bearing in mind this has happened to more than 1 staff member. -Staff are criticised when they fail to complete work to deadlines because they have too much on the plate, to the point where taking a holiday means you would have to work double time just to catch up (the workload is not possible if you take holidays). -Deadlines are ridiculously tight to the point where weekends are commonly worked at month ends. -Poor management and team meetings -Weak leadership who are not interested in helping staff, only interested in filling their own pockets. For anyone looking to have a long term finance career at the next place you work, please honestly take it from me and run! This is the worst company I have ever hadd the misfortune of working for.

Pros

Great job for someone freshout if college. Especially if they have a degree focused on logistics/international trade or business. Learned the ins and outs of moving goods both domestically and internationally. Great coworkers when I was with Marken

Cons

Pay could be better. When I was there, we were definitely short staffed. I was filling in for roles I wasn’t hired to do. (Track/tracing shipments) I mean, I did learn more but my plate was already very full. My commute was too long. Main reason I left. Would have stayed because, it seems likes there definitely room for growth in position and salary.
