Pros

It can be a flexible job with the right management

Cons

There is no management training for the Transportation manager some day to day rules and policies can be confusing and more emotional than logical or based on facts.

Pros

“My previous work experience was coming from a corporate background and the room for upper mobility professionally was far from none. I reached a place in my career that I wanted long term growth and not be in a position stuck on the corporate ladder. Within my role now, I am challenged every day to be the success I want to see, not what others cap me at.”
