Pros

I work with a great team and have learned a lot throughout my time at TK. I have also been exposed to the functions of other departments and have gained well-rounded experience. Good work/life balance, but this could be due to the division that I am in, management is understanding.

Cons

Compensation is not competitive at all, it's insulting. You could be making thousands of $$ more elsewhere with the experience and skills you gain in a few years. 3% raise? Get real, no wonder why turnover is so high. Shared services is a joke, the best move they made was moving them to Poland, the only thing left is to get rid of their current Shared Services Manager and that group will be in peace.

Pros

The benefits are great.

Cons

The leadership is all talk and no action. Disinterested, uneducated, untrained management staff. The amount of nepotism within this company is unprofessional. Safety is not their priority; MONEY is. The staff in leadership roles are looking out for themselves only. If you are a person of color, your chances of getting employed are slim and the caliber of employees that they have had for years are less likely to give you respect because you aren’t the right political party and color. Their Operations training (T.O.P.S. Program) lacks follow-up training and support and sets up one for failure.

Pros

Great people, great customers and international colberation is outstanding.

Cons

Senior management spends too much time working on day to day issues that mid level managers should be able to handle. HR is non existented when it comes to helping with resolving issues. Senior managers are quick to blame others rather understanding is a lack of leadership.
