Pros

Fellow employees are a good group of people who dedicate and risk their lives on a daily basis to haul fuel for this business. There is a brotherhood amongst most of the the drivers who are willing to help one another out when needed. The pay is decent. However, since we are hauling hazardous cargo, there should be greater compensation.

Cons

There is a huge lack of communication throughout the company. Especially, the communication between dispatchers and drivers. It has been 2 months since our company was bought out by World Fuel and most of us have yet to see any sort of management or chain of command. The work shifts are extremely long, often lasting between 12-14 hours (sometimes 16) a day/night while dealing with dangerous chemicals and some of the worst traffic in the nation. This company will work you to death. We often don't get to see our families or have much of a home life. It can literally suck the life out of you. Finally, there have been shady incidents (I would almost go as far to say borderline illegal) concerning lower management, as well.

Pros

World Kinect has strong brand recognition in the energy sector and access to valuable customer data. There are talented individuals across different teams who genuinely want to improve processes and drive results. The company also has established relationships with large enterprise clients, which creates potential for growth if leveraged correctly.

Cons

One of the biggest challenges is the lack of a clear, modern vision for marketing and how technology should be used to drive growth, improve customer experience, and reduce churn. Marketing is often treated as a support function rather than a strategic driver of revenue, and there is limited investment in the tools, data infrastructure, and experimentation needed to build scalable demand generation and lifecycle programs. Decision-making can feel reactive rather than strategic, and there is often a disconnect between leadership priorities and the realities of modern digital marketing. As a result, opportunities to leverage data, automation, and customer insights to create measurable growth are frequently missed. Another concern is that advancement and recognition sometimes appear to be influenced more by internal relationships than by performance or talent. This can make it challenging for high-performing employees to feel fully valued or to see a clear path for growth within the organization.
