Dear colleague, Thanks for sharing your thoughts here on Glassdoor! It is great to know you are enjoying the good working hours and there is no micromanagement at your location —those are definitely important for a positive work environment. We also appreciate your honesty about the pay. Please be aware that our compensation is offered based on market and industry-specific ranges. Moreover, we are always looking for new ways to complement the salaries offered to employees, such as locally defined benefits and rewards based on merit. We regret that you felt underpaid, and we can confirm that we will continue to review our compensation plans to ensure fairness at all levels of our organization. Your feedback is super helpful as we are always looking for ways to improve. Please share your ideas with your manager, supervisor, or HR department. Thanks again for your insights. Keep up the great work! Your DHL Team
