Tough environment

Pros

Some groups in the company have good managers, though those are few and far between. There are some talented people in the company though management is not capable of using them correctly. Honestly don't have any good things to say about this employer.

Cons

Very political environment. Better hope you boss is a "made-man" or you will never get anywhere. Company will typically hire someone for a job, then assign them completely different responsibilities from what was agreed upon during interviews. If you fight it, they will brand you as not being a team-player. Management style is to hire above the current employees, then push the current employees down (or out).

Pros

As a fortune 500 company it has a lot of potentials. They are blessed to be in the oil and gas industry, because in some ways they are selling a necessity. Another word the company makes money despite its self. However you quickly realize you may have just entered the twilight zone. A parallel universe if you will; where none-sense is rewarded and logic is rejected with extreme prejudice.

Cons

The company seeks to hire talented employees only to marginalize them and suppress their creativity. World Fuel Services is a place where talents goes to die. Everyone is talking and no one is listening.
