Pros

There aren't any don't waste your time here.

Cons

You'll never know when you get off They get upset when you take your lunch & when you don't they still get upset There is a lot of drama with coworkers and supervisors do nothing about it. Unrealistic expectations and when one forklift operator makes a mistake you all are held accountable.

Pros

In my 30+ year career working at numerous Fortune 500 companies, I've never seen the depth and scale of team work that exists across DHL. People really go out of their way here to make each other successful and have an "I win when the team wins" type attitude. The leadership team really cares about the employees and that attitude comes through daily, via emails and the handling of the Covid-19 crisis.

Cons

Hiring is limited during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dear colleague, Your words touch our Deutsche Post DHL heart. You exactly point out what we want to achieve. Team work, making a difference all together "as one". Our employees are willing to go the extra mile, this behavior leads to following by good example. Helping each other making each other great, together Deutsche Post DHL is strong. You are right, hiring new people during these challenging times is limited, therefore Deutsche Post DHL tries to keep people aboard if possible. It can happen that some entities are short of work and other have more occupation. Therefore it happens that employees from entities short of work are relocated to entities that need extra support. In this way we don't have to release people if not needed. We want to show our employees that we care about them also in difficult and uncertain times. We will overcome this and can get through this together Best wishes for you and your family and thanks again for your dedication. Best regards, Your Employer Branding Team
