Charlotte Office review - Business Development Manager Troy Container Line Employee Review

Troy Container Line has some excellent connections within the shipping industry and a fluid understanding of routes and regulations, which proved to be beneficial when it came time for me to make my next move.

While vacation/personal time was not abundant, my experience with the company was not tarnished upon my departure.

On Fridays you get out at 5:00 instead of 5:30. That is all

You can tell a lot about a company by the way they integrate and treat new employees. Unfortunately, they are pretty pathetic when it comes to the onboarding process of new hires. They expect you to learn how their system works after they show you one time, and they will not offer any other training for assistance if you need clarification. I have tons of experience in this industry and after only a few weeks there they were pressuring me to quit because they did not think I was working fast enough. I went in there everyday with a good attitude and asked for help from my supervisors and I was told that this is how they do things. It now makes sense to me why they told me it had been a difficult position to fill. I had to figure out how to do everything on my own which inevitably will take more time since they refused to give me any further training or guidance. They constantly told me I was not "impressive" and talked down to me creating a very uncomfortable experience. My boss would continually ask me why I was not working fast enough and would talk down to me in a very demeaning manner. She would do this daily in her office with the door open so the whole office could hear. Many times errors that other new employees were making were getting blamed on me. My supervisor created an unbearable work situation and suggested that I was trying to quit by asking for more help. What a waste of my time and talents.
