Vantaggi
The benefits are outstanding. The commission plan was generous if you are experienced and can develop business with little to no training or support. The parent company is Hawaii based and the laid back culture permeates to the logistics group. Matson could be a "last stop" for folks who can be modestly competent and can avoid making waves
Svantaggi
The stars have to accept that they subsidize poorer performers that seem to be carried along for years. Way too much use of email to solve problems that result in blame game/chat rooms. Many employees and their senior leadership has worked together for many years so there can be a reluctance to challenge the status quo. For a company of it's size, Matson Integrated Logistics has very little in the way of KPIs that are aligned with what the front line folks do & control each day. The consequences for that are employees with too much focus on avoiding the wrath of Senior leadership rather than objectively knowing what's expected, There is a lot of focus on quoting individuals in leadership rather than pointing to policy or company values. That makes it seem more like a fiefdom at times than part of a publicly held company.
