Tropical Shipping

I traveled throughout the Bahamas and Caribbean Islands meeting key customers and working with our local sales and operations staff to deliver high quality service and actively sell our services. It was very rewarding and enjoyable to work in so many divers cultures. Back at our headquarters in Palm Beach, my day was consumed with developing pricing strategy, examining cost savings opportunities, resolving operational problems and presenting at senior management and board meetings.

Tropical is a family environment where management strategies are positioned for employees success. Training is layered for proper consumption and retention. Pay is healthy that it motivates you to keep focus on company goals and bottom lines. Benefits are not overwhelming to select right options and pricing in moderate. Management balances oversight that make you feel comfortable working independently but confident to ask for help without feeling belittled. Best culture driven  atmosphere to be in for all age groups. I love working there.

my typical work day was basically loading and off loading trailors, offloading flatracks, loading customer vehicles with their merchandise and stocking bulks from the floor to four racks high, while also storing lumber, pipes, and other large material in the yard and loading vehicles in trailors. I also maintained a clean work place, and entered inventory in the system as well as clearing inventory out of the system. I love my work so there was no hard part in performing my duties. The most enjoyable part of the job was doing my duties as a forklift operator. My coworkers and management was great to work with,

Working Overnights in Medley warehouse, was a fantastic opportunity.  Shipping cargo containers to the port of West Palm port each night was definitely a challenging endeavor,  but it was worth it.   You felt like you accomplished something at the end of your shift.   I wish I could work there again.   Tropical Shipping work culture is phenomenal,  all modern facilities, beautiful offices, and excellent staff.  

Team involvement staff/management, empowerment/challenges of outsourcing work and being apart of the decision, working collectively with management, brainstorming, structure.  Hardest part of the job knowing when to stop working and to delegate work accordingly.  Most enjoyable part of the job working with international customers/internal customers, and traveling.
