Pros

Dohrn is small enough that you can usually find a person to answer questions to help you solve problems.

Cons

Benefits are on the low side. Performance reviews are a joke. If they are done once a year it is a miracle. They are fair to most on reviews but there is a good guys club that influences the process. Only the upper management can make decisions, if you have an issue they can be very hard to reach. The upper management does not delegate responsibilities often enough. On the rare occasion that they do, they fail to follow through when the delegated task was not completed as they requested. Hours are long and busy, 55+ per week, usually more. The equipment is poorly maintained. Safety dept is understaffed and Safety is an afterthought to most.

Pros

At the terminal level, people are friendly and very focused on doing their job well. Everyone has their quirks but for the most part people work hard and do as they need to.

Cons

Suits in Rock Island are very keen on making decisions regarding terminal-level staff on a last-minute basis, often resulting in mass firings in random waves. Turnover tends to be very high and different parts of the terminal are always constantly short staffed. Pay is low for the level of work required and recognition for performance is never met with a pay increase or acknowledgment from management.
