SAVE YOUR CAREER, DO NOT GO TO CORPUS CHRISTI!

1) If you are a Superintendent, you will be taking orders from a guy who should have been fired a long time ago (Nobody knows how this guy still has a job). 

2) They TALK a good game about safety (see section 1)

3) They will have you drive all over south tx in YOUR vehicle and not pay mileage (the General Superintendents lets their little click steal gas though).

4) Are you hispanic??? they employ a racist mechanic that I would love for you to meet.

5) They will say "We have a bonus if you work 7 days straight" and after you worked 13 days straight and ask for your bonus they will say "It has to be in the same pay period, sorry!"

6) No Communication: They will have you get up at 5am, drive 45 min away just to tell you the ship isn't coming in (they keep the info for themselves). Don't expect a gang list either, because you wont have one.  Be sure to bring up the lack of communication in the meetings that you wont be included in. 

7) Want to talk to the GM? Good luck, because he doesn't want to talk to you (Kings Point's finest).

8) Mismanage their labor: The VP will say that they want Managers (not workers). As a superintendent, you will be hooking up in the hold and landing cargo on the dock, the whole enchilada. 

They will tell you to "Make it work" with guys who are not qualified to work the positions they are asking them to work in (The blame is on you if something goes wrong)

9) 0 support: The insane runs the asylum there, and upper management will take their buddies side every time. 

10) they don't train their employees (I was there for 10 months and didnt see not 1 person go through a forklift class.

11) 1 of my guys on the ground (best worker in the hold) been there 5 years and is still making 12$ hr...

12) If you are good, the customer will ask "what are you doing working here". Because they know how bad the management is.

Fast pace, excellent teamwork, great communication and everyone is a brothers keeper ( each one takes curve one another)

The employees nothing else. Too much nepotism and the management is unfair and threatening. They text you to come to work and if you don’t get one, you don’t work

The work is dangerous and you can get hurt if you’re not “extra” careful. There are a lot of moving parts and machines. One can easily get injured if you don’t pay “extra “attention.

Intimidating and disrespectful is what comes to mind. They want you to do what they say even if it’s unsafe. Employees get along well with each other and there’s a lot of overtime if you like that.

There's always work for everyone to do. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
No communication at all and no regards to anyone's personal life or issues. Only cared about production and not their workers. Pay was very low for everyone that doesn't have a crane certification. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Unload vessels, scan material,  sort material and send material.

Gulf stream is a good company to get something on your resume. I took a lesser position with my skill set known. I ran equipment that I was not certified for but could run when it benefited the company, they would not certify me so they didnt have to pay me. The time keeper punishes you for emergency's, 3 days off no matter what. There is no shift adjustment, they will cancel night shift after 3 months and put you on days with 12 hour notice. If you cant change shift you get punished. You have to know someone if you want to move up, but if you want experience and a place to make a lot of hours it is fine. If you respect your worth and can go somewhere else, go.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Working hard and Learn new things and your they will be great

Answer emails, phone calls, bending over backwards for customers. Learned every aspect of the department but it takes years for anyone to move up. I was lucky to have a great boss, easy to talk to. Co-workers always made it fun. Hated not knowing if I was going to be off the weekend until Friday afternoon. 
I know that business is about numbers but your employees got you those high numbers therefore it doesn't hurt to recognize them.

If you are a CDL Driver that has experience and have a clean record, run away from this company. If you are a Newly Graduate CDL Driver and expect a salary that consistently provide for your bills,  run away from this company. If they are short of laborers, you become a laborers and will even requires you to climb the ships and do the riggers job. It hasa very high turn over rate. You will work with people on Parole and under probation. If you want your dignity. Don't do it. But you are more than welcome to waste your time, if you don't heed to this review. Remember. You have been warned.

If you are a hard worker that doesn't mind being on your feet for 12 hours a day and getting dirty then this is the place. Felony friendly. Seen a lot of cool things working for this company and visited lots of cities. Rigged and lifted everything from helicopters to 70 thousand pound steel coils. 12 hour days 7 days a week if you want. They will work you everyday until you ask for a day or two off. If you need a day off let them know in advance.
