Pros

The pay has vastly improved and the partnership with Hammel Companies has really started to improve with newer equipment and improving on policies, processes and more of an emphasis on safety. The Dohrn family has really sacrificed to make things right with long term employees.

Cons

It's difficult especially at RKF to work on image and improve employee morale with the same people in place during the transition that have been running the show for the last several years that have fueled the divisiveness and instigation in the past. I respect our management but this aspect of improving things has been thus far overlooked. Benefits could be better. Advancement opportunities limited to a select few.

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.
