The overall atmosphere in the office is negative. Management is constantly swearing at people while emailing them a snarky email response. 

I would not recommend applying here especially if you are a male of any age. There is blatantly a favoritism twords females here. A female employee of 10+ years can ask several questions on a daily task, but if a new male employee asks the same questions they are chastised even if the circumstances is new to you and you don't know how to handle it.  

There are constant paradoxes here.  They want you to make the job as easy as possible for the customer but at the same time don't make it too easy for them and make them work a little. 

You are supposed to ask questions but get chastised for asking questions. 

Management also makes you sit by there desk while they open and write new emails for over 10 minutes at a time, while you have a question that takes 10 seconds to answer. You will be ignored until they decide it's time to show any focus twords you. I have also tried to get managements attention while they are close to my desk and they pretend to not see my hand raised and won't make eye contact and go back to their desk.

You will never get a straight answer that is clear cut leading to even more questions at the end of an answer. Leading you to not be able to do your job successfully. 

There are ZERO WRITTEN operating procedures for you to look through to compete daily tasks. You are supposed to rely on notes from shadowing employees. This would normally work out but every employee does their job differently and management will chastise you for doing the job the same way a 10+year employee does it, but let's the 10+ year employee keep doing the job that way. 

Everyone is doing things their way at this location and there is no single way to do anything which leads to there being an angry email from management at least once a week. The people above them will complain things aren't being done correctly, because they do not TRAIN their employees to do the job correctly.

Instead of management coming out of their office to talk to you about an issue they will send you a snarky email and demand a response to it, instead of bringing up the issue to you personally and coaching you how to succeed in the future. 

When a workplace has no employees that have been there more than one year besides management, and one 18 year employee. You come to understand why everyone has quit, because the vibe in the office is just waiting for the next little mistake to blow up and act like it's the end of the world. 

Do NOT apply here, there is ZERO room for advancement and management gate keeps all the tools for success. You will not be respected as a valued member of the team.


Scan Global talks a lot about values like entrepreneurship and people-first culture, but in reality, there’s very little opportunity to grow or advance. Unless you're part of the inner circle, promotions and recognition are rare, and performance often goes unnoticed. Senior leadership is out of touch and seems more focused on politics and protecting their positions than actually improving operations or supporting the team.

Communication from the top is vague and inconsistent, and big decisions are made without input from those doing the work. While the company does offer flexibility and reasonable work-life balance, it's not enough to make up for the lack of direction and poor management.

If you're looking to build a long-term career or work under inspiring leadership, this probably isn't the place. It’s fine as a stepping stone, but don’t expect much beyond that.

This office in particular breathes and screams nepotism, and harbors a stressful, emotionally-draining work environment. If you don’t know anyone in management and don’t have a Y chromosome, you will have the hardest time.  

It is challenging enough to assist multiple customers and unexpected incidents, but to then deal with the consistent nitpicking by management adds salt to the wound. 

Rather than providing encouragement and motivation to the team that wants to succeed and do a great job, there is constant micromanagement, condescending remarks, and gaslighting. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
The company structure and culture!

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As a broker working for a freight forwarder relying on others brokers to providing quotes for your clients was a delay to potentially to bring a customer onboard. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unique as a corporate company. Focusing always on goals and future projects.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Always on the hunt, prospecting, and communicating with current and future customers.

no support no training toxic culture nobody helps you at all they don't believe in team work  They don't provide an SOP is an unethical company .Management never trained me only gave me a handbook of one example of how to do the job and left me alone knowing this job requires extensive training.You ask coworkers for help and they will ignore you I never received any support.I guess management doesn't care and yet they expect the company to succeed it when communication is horrible environment. Office is full of woman's who are very catty the Talk  inappropiate subjects at work.Bad company managers they don't seem to care about the appearance of the company.

Worked at scan for about 1 month and show up everyday early at 7am and worked until 3:30pm which was overtime.   My father had a heart attack and was in the hospital from Monday thru Wednesday and he was supposed to be released on Thursday out of the hospital.  I communicated with my agent and the company about the situation.  Their response was to fire me because I didn't show up for the week even though they knew I was in the hospital with my father.  Terrible company that doesn't care about family or your welfare just their business.  Don't work for this company until they change their ways.   

Honestly I taught I was at the right company. But they have the worse un educated HR dept. They make assumptions and technically putting words in one's mouth thT was never said. Something legal must be done as this is not right. Scamming employees.
 Let's not go into ocean dept, anyone going into ocean is set for failure as the manager does no training at all. This company does not care about employees and their families well being. They honestly do not respect families. 

This review could be very long with all the negatives . When I started it was a good place to work.  Change in ownership (in Denmark) brought new upper & senior management which started the downfall changes.  Lots of favoritism, so-so pay equality, employees with 15-20+ years of employment left, 100's of temps came & went but some hired. TO SAVE MONEY, they moved a good portion of accounting offshore.  Not a successful - lower wages but hired more people who couldn't & aren't doing the job. 

Avoid this employer. Find a US employer

Mgmt team is very one sided and plays favorites.  Workload is heavy and mgmt does not want to fix issues with the customer to make the process flow easier.  Have been lied to by mgmt.  Don't bother making any suggestions.  They either falls on deaf ears or you get cutoff before you finish your sentence.  Not an enjoyable place to work.  The only good thing there is some of the people you work with.  

My suggestion is to find employment elsewhere unless you like going home feeling defeated and condescended.
