Pros

Good work environment . It is ok for short term but need to move on

Cons

Less stability of job . Restructuring happens often. I have seen so many positions frequently moved between offices . Focused more on making money rather than employees. Leaders laid off, employees laid off because of rapid organizational restructuring ..

Pros

Generous PTO would be the only pro, however a lot people don't get to use their PTO up and they end up losing it because you cannot carry it over.

Cons

Not saying the company as a whole is racist but the commercial operation manager/director in overland park office most definitely is. She has about 25 employees with majority being caucasians working under her yet she choose just the people of color to furlough. Under her team the 3/4 furloughed employees are minorities. So my questions is that, besides the race of the employees, what other indicators were used when choosing who to furlough? Also might I add, one of the minority employee was fired right after she was furloughed because she got in trouble for taking a zoom call on her bed. Is that a legitimate reason to fire an employee? I'll let you be the judge. During the entire furlough process, the manager showed no emotions or empathy of any sort. Wouldn't go back to work for this company under any circumstances. Truly, if you work in this office, there will be no growth. Ask anyone in the company and they can tell you. You're lucky if your department doesn't a mass lay off.

World Fuel Services feels it is important to address this unfair and inaccurate review addressing the critical issues of race and equal opportunity in employment. Contrary to the anonymous allegations in the post, World Fuel Services has a strong culture that embraces diversity. We prohibit and do not tolerate racial discrimination in hiring, promotions, employee terminations, or any other personnel decisions. While it is inappropriate to comment on each false allegation in the post, we can say with confidence that race played no role in the Company’s difficult decision to furlough certain employees. We are particularly proud of our diverse team in Overland Park, and we believe that the vast majority of our employees who work there are pleased that they do.
