Pros
-Great exposure to the marine fuel market. -Good name within bunker community. -The people working in sales and supply side bunker desks. -Join for 1-2 years: once 1 yr into the job start interviewing with other bunker companies who will pay minimum double the salary of WFS, and provide a better working environment.
Cons
-Very poor salaries compared to other bunker traders, similarly poor benefits. -No salary raises despite year on year rising profits. -No career path only vague promises. -Time consuming bureaucracy to get anything done. -A barrage of corporate speak in endless emails sent by middle/upper management seeking to look relevant. -Credit department has little understanding of the time constraints and competition faced by bunker traders and often serves as an obstacle to doing business.
