    CSAV is not a good place for aspired business leaders

    Apr 13, 2009 - Manager in Iselin, NJ
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    CSAV is good for people who did not want to see a lot of changes in the way they do business. Also CSAV is good for those who have strong connections with the company, such as friends or family members working on the senior level of the company. CSAV is best suitable for Chilean staying in the U.S. because the company tends to trust Chilean (their fellow country men) a lot more than any other citizens so that they always have a better access to information and promotions, regardless of the seniority they have within the company

    Cons

    Not well managed, slow or no growth, limited career advancement opportunity

    Small company, small pay, small advancement

    Nov 23, 2008 - Analyst in Iselin, NJ
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Small company affords opportunity to learn and perform in many aspects of the business.

    Cons

    Low pay and average benefits. Managers don't manage, they work the day-to-day with no time for strategic thought. Poor hiring practices - put bodies in to fill slots. Little if any positive feedback, but you will know when you've not performed or made an error in judgement. Small "cultural" company with little opportunity to advance. "Owned" agency is poor excuse to keep staff small to maximize profits from Region & Liner side of business.

    Great atmosphere, but lousy salaries and benefits make you forget that

    Pros

    Organizational Climate is great and there are big opportunities to work abroad

    Cons

    Compensation is horrible, and upper management denies it with biased industry benchmark studies, as if the information wasn't available online...its a joke.

    Pros & Cons

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    - Most of the employees are friendly, combined with a diverse mix of ethnicities which makes it interesting to work in. The office is a decent size where you have a chance to know everybody's name. A fairly high number of company activities, which is good.

    Cons

    The shipping industry has been hit hard by the recession, so many benefits were temporarily taken out. The company grew too big without the proper IT infrastructure.

    Grate management team, with a super duper sales team, and great customer service.

    CSAV used to be one of the biggest Ocean Shipping od the world. Unfortunately the company merged to another big ocean shipping. For that reason many employees were laid off.
