Pros

The work although extremely slow is not bad. Time off without pay is granted with no hastle. The company is strong and extremely profitable. Allegedly there is a quality training program.

Cons

The training is not made available due to the expense. There is no per diem and the expense policy is a huge hastle and based a greedy philosophy. The work load is extremely minimal, but heavy on the weekends and holidays. The plans for growth of this business unit is strangled by their absolute frugal philosophy.

Poor company with bad culture

Pros

No pros to mention for Cargotec-poor company

Cons

Plenty, one way street approach. Expect long hours with no numeration. If time off is required, it's either unpaid or taken off your holiday days. Their attitude about long hours and unpaid Saturdays is 'it's expected off you'. Constant blame game and passing the buck. Driving a desk and email management style.

Pros

The Staff - with few notable exceptions I worked with a great team. We pulled together to solve challenges and find success Benefits - If one selects the high-deductible wellness plan, the company pays the full cost for employee only health, dental, & vision insurance premiums

Cons

Management (Including HR Management) - when a manager has 5 people in a role in 5 years, the likelihood that it failures by all of those employees is much smaller than it is a failure of that manager. Communication - I reported remotely and found it very difficult to maintain meaningful communication with others because of an out-of-sight/out-of-mind mentality Project Management - this organization needs to learn how to manage change, involve all stake holders, devote sufficient resources to initiatives, and coordinate change across areas, rather than have siloed fiefdoms working at cross purposes instead of coming up with unified solutions to cross-functional challenges.
