Improvement and Change are very much needed.
Inventory Control Coordinator (Current Employee) - Wilmington, DE - August 25, 2017
This is a very Negative place to be employed at and it's due to bad management .. "A bad manager can take a good staff and destroy it, causing the best employees to flee and the remainder to lose all motivation."
Pros
Great benifets
Cons
Poor management

cold work environment
Cargo Inspector (Former Employee) - Wilmington, DE - May 24, 2017
hiring practice is questionable, not based on merit, ethics or seniority, but based on nepotism. Experience, work ethics, commitment, and loyalty are qualities irrelevant to some warehouse supervisors
Pros
pay rate
Cons
cold temperature

Good place to work for security but no advancement.
Controller (Current Employee) - Wilmington, DE - August 21, 2016
Good place to work with good people; but, salaries are tied to the State of Delaware when it comes to annual increases.
Education level or performance doesn't impact salaries, and of course there are no bonuses. If looking to work at the Port, one must negotiate a salary that will have to last until they retire or move on.
The biggest perk employees have, for now, is all health insurance coverage is paid for.
After 15-years, my career has become stagnant.
The Port puts on a very nice golf tournament for its customers each year.
Pros
Healthcare 100% paid, free parking
Cons
Culture, middle management ignored

Challenges And Rewards
Director of Operations - Accountable (Current Employee) - Wilmington, DE - September 4, 2015
No two days are the same in our dynamic environment with a lot of challenges. There is a tremendous sense of accomplishment when difficult tasks are successfully completed.

Great method for volunteer work
Volunteer (Former Employee) - Wilmington, DE - May 1, 2013
A day of this kind of volunteerism consisted of the simple evaluation and organization of gate and day passes. These are the tasks that I had to do on the days in which I was assigned them. I learned to micromanage hundreds of papers simultaneously. Management does not apply and I had no co-workers. The hardest parts of the job were the length of the work and meticulous checking and counting of the passes and documents. The most enjoyable part was the simplicity of the actual work.
Pros
simplicity, many volunteer hours, worked at home
Cons
long periods of work, perfection in counting and evaluations

Temporary winter job with high pay and security experience
Security Officer (Former Employee) - Wilmington, DE - May 1, 2013
At this job, I worked as a security guard at specific stations each day. I learned to use standard Port of Wilmington equipment for casuals, such as scanners, radios. I also learned to properly monitor and oversee activities over relatively broad-sized areas. The management and communication aspects were good. Management gave me a wide variety of duties for each day on the job and provided good training prior to and during the work period. My co-workers were generally friendly to me and helped to facilitate my individual operations during employment. The most difficult part of the job was learning about what to do at new positions at which I worked. The most enjoyable aspect of the job was the fact that the duties are simple and easy to fulfill. I also enjoyed working publicly; this is something I do not get to do very often and I had to briefly speak to and check the TWIC cards of people who passed through my locations subsequently.
Pros
high pay, friendly and helpful co-workers, decent management, productive learning experience
Cons
no breaks at most security posts, heavy traffic, different restrictions at each post
