Island Transportation Corp

This place has very poor management and misleading on so many levels.  Not to mention how they operate.  Paid a certain amount per hour but in order to get that amount you have to work 10 hours per day, so that your 40 hrs includes 10 hours of Overtime.  If you miss any part of that overtime, 10 hr window, your paycheck dwindles drastically.  If you are paid $18, it should be $18/hr.

Outdated computer system and very complicated . system for learning their process. 

Micro-managing leaders that want to holler at you, not to mention they don't want to answer the phones on the night shift.  Then want to reprimand you for mistakes that the previous shift made. 

After several months advised I had vacation to take for 1 week.  Took off, but when I checked my direct deposit that next week , there was no  paycheck.  Inquired with HR.  Advised they give you time off, but do not pay you for it until after 1 year.  WHAT???  Who does that?? 

The company is too cheap to update the environment in which the employees work.  Old desks, and during the cold NJ winters, they didn't turn on the heat.  Individuals controlling the heat as a way to retaliate against other employees.  

Went into the restroom  3 different times  and someone had defecated all over the commode.  This may have been a reflection of how the employees felt about the company

The drivers were not treated equally.  Certain drivers get the choice loads.  Other drivers get the worst trips, with stations that were far or hard to work within.  Favoritism is apparent.  
High turnover.

A typical day at work is heavy phone and 2 way radio activity.  I've learned a great deal working at Island.  It has broaded my knowledge of the petrolium indudustry and I have improved my time management and improved in my multi-tasking skills.  I always get along with my co-workers.  I accept critisism and if I make a mistake, I'll be the first to admit it and if a customer order is not put in correctly by myself, I contact the customer and explain what happened and that I was responsbile.  I would do my best to correct the error in a timely manner.  Many customers I work with apprieciate my patience and accuracy in handling their requests and my honesty and dedication to do the best I can to assist them.  The hardest part of this job is like any other.  Problems such as mechanical breakdowns can affect a timely delivery to a station needing their products.  Trying to manipulate the workload and prioritizing deliveries can get a bit stressfull but I handle every problem one at time and do the best I can to rearrange "the board" as we call it, to accomodate each customers order.  I work ten hour shifts 5 days a week.  The downside is their really is no opporunity for promotions.  My schedule rotates and my hours change every two days.  The most enjoyable part of the job is working with good people in the office and helping our customers when they need it.

I was employed in the office, Hired by the owner.  She is like a Bi-polar hitler. One day she is friendly and the next day she looks right thru you like you aren't even there, Everyone in the office is afraid of her, All the employees walk around her on tiptoes when she comes in. Her twin sons don't talk to anyone. They act like they are better than everyone else. The work is fine but if you make one mistake (even on your first day) you get talked down to.The pay sucks, the atmosphere is terrible. The office has never come out of the 1950's. Everything from desks, to staplers are originals.and if they're broken - too bad. There are piles of paperwork all over dating back to the 1970's. Oh and if you need some paperclips or staples you are handed a few clips at a time or one strip of staples at a time.  The Controller did not stand up for her workers. She is just as unprofessional as the owner. The office manager is the only person there who I believe has some ethics. But she walks around with a sour puss all day. The agency I spoke to (after I was let go) told me that they don't deal with this company anymore because they are a horror! I was let go after two months....told that there wasn't enough work. I believe they knew that I hated it there so I'm glad to be out. Good luck to anyone who works there! You'll need it!

A typical day was marked by disorganization and constant pressure. Expectations were often unclear, and support from leadership was minimal. The company appeared to prioritize output over quality, frequently cutting corners to meet arbitrary goals. Management was largely unresponsive and disengaged, leaving employees without direction or accountability structures. The workplace culture was unhealthy, characterized by internal competition, lack of trust, and frequent conflict.

The most difficult part of the job was dealing with the persistent stress and lack of appreciation, which created a demoralizing environment. Unfortunately, I found no truly enjoyable aspects to the role. The company often made short-sighted decisions, seemingly prioritizing small cost savings over long-term success and employee well-being.

           It was a a lot of fun ,for the most part . Greeting visitors to the island ,loading the tour bus and driving around Marthas Vineyard. Essentially , you will drive up to Aquinna ,the highest elevation on the island and stop for a half hour break . There are restrooms there but in addition a magnificent view of the sea and islands in the sound . Seafood ,snack bars are open for business . They do a wonderful job ,the food is excellent and the service as well . 
              There are many other sites reroute . The State Beach  location where the classic movie , Jaws was filmed and many ,many more . 
               All in all ,it is a wonderful experience for anyone who is looking for something more than an average job . This is an experience you will savor for the rest of your life . 
                  Oh yes , and the management are good guys too . Don't pass this one up !!!

ITC  stated that my works hours would be from Sunday Through Thursday, 7PM to 7AM, which was supposed to change once they felt that I no longer needed supervision.  Within one month, they changed my schedule 3 times(Tuesday through Friday, Wednesday through Saturday, and back to Tuesday through Friday).  They understated how frequently my schedule would change    They state that the job takes a year to learn, which sounds about right.  
During my brief time at ITC, I overheard 3 times where a coworkers were chewed out by the Vice President, which is a cause for concern.

A typical date at ITC includes: answering the phones, telling driver their routes, taking gas orders, making sure that the orders fit.  

The hardest part of the job for me was finding the motivation to stay, as it can be very draining.  The most enjoyable part of the job was the banter among coworkers 

I worked overnights as a dispatcher the job is easy. It was also tedious and boring. Often times you were by yourself and the guys from other dispatch areas would have to step in to assist you if you were stuck on a call. Most drivers were nice. But if there was a mistake you could bet they would try to pin it on you. The VP of the company seemed like a nice guy but would micromanage my bosses. If they paid an extra $4 an hour. The overnight gig would have been worth it. You also get next to  0 breaks unless you were using the bathroom. Working 12 hour overnight shifts would leave you exhausted the next day. You would be sleeping 10-11 hours  if you didn’t catch enough sleep during the other days. 

This is a great place to work if you need a job. Upper Management is mostly laid-back and accommodating depending on the situation. Health Insurance comes with a $1,000 deductible and costs about $40-$50 each week.  Co-workers can make or break your environment as the shifts are 12 hours, but 3 days off is nice. Pay is awful but as I stated, If you need a job it isn’t too bad. All hours worked are paid but you will be eating lunch at your desk. The role as a “dispatcher” consists mainly of answering calls and making sure orders are placed and will fit at the stations. I enjoyed my time here but would not recommend it for someone looking for advancement in the company or industry. 

Safety, safety, safety. Each refinery has its own special set rules you must obey. The most difficult part of this job is having too much fuel to drop into a tank that locks up before states safe fill. Mgmnt is mgmnt and it is a transportation job, as it is expected for you to be on your p's and q's while processing a hazmat load properly from start to finish. The most enjoyable part of the job is when you finally qualify for that paid vacation. 

I was the on site safety supervisor, who was in charge of new hire pre-screening. My tasks included visiting stations and observing drivers on the road.. I learn much about accident procedures and follow up, haz-mat clean up and other gasoline related regulations. Management was good but fair and micro managed all activities. The work culture was stressful due to time dead-lines that had to be completed. The hardest part of the job was being the 24 hour on call person, having to respond to emergencies at all hours. The most enjoyable part of the job was thr training and re-training of employees.
