Pros

Having full reign of my operation? If that counts? Literally nothing else positive that any other normal job couldn’t offer.

Cons

Terrible hours. I was salary, and I had some DOCK WORKERS making as much, or more than me purely because they worked so many hours. Also, what kinda PTO and insurance joke is this place trying to run? I’ve worked many high tier management jobs, and worked many hours, but this jobs literally made me depressed. I have NEVER felt more suicidal than when I worked here. I was eventually fired because I didn’t “improve enough.” My argument to that was that my numbers looked better than anyone else in my regional manager’s territory, and I had PROOF of that. I think they canned me really because I was young, and too nice to my dock workers. I am a people manager, not a tyrant/military style manager. Everyone else there was, and they hated me because of it. It’s whatever, because I believe things happen for a reason; mainly due to the fact that I realized how truly depressed I was working there once I was let go. I was stuck in the cycle of wake up at 3pm, Drive an hour in rush hour traffic, work until 3-5am, go home, eat something (maybe), sleep, and then wake up and do it again. All. Week. What a joke. Stay away.

Pros

At the terminal level, people are friendly and very focused on doing their job well. Everyone has their quirks but for the most part people work hard and do as they need to.

Cons

Suits in Rock Island are very keen on making decisions regarding terminal-level staff on a last-minute basis, often resulting in mass firings in random waves. Turnover tends to be very high and different parts of the terminal are always constantly short staffed. Pay is low for the level of work required and recognition for performance is never met with a pay increase or acknowledgment from management.
