Pros

Lunch was inside Pay was good

Cons

You're working outside and have to deal with the weather conditions. Management can be tough to deal with if you don't have thick skin.

Dear colleague, Thank you for sharing your candid feedback about working at DHL Erlanger! You're right - working on the ramp requires someone who can handle various weather conditions, and it's not for everyone. We appreciate your honesty about this aspect of the job. We're glad you found the pay competitive and enjoyed having indoor lunch breaks as a respite from the outdoor work. Your point about management interactions is valuable feedback - while we aim to maintain high operational standards, we also want to ensure our communication style supports our team members. Thank you for being part of our DHL team and helping future candidates understand the rewards and challenges of the ramp agent role. Your honest insights help set the right expectations for potential team members! Your DHL Team

Pros

Chill job to be on your phone and do no work for pay

, Biggest gripe was either having nothing to do or managers overstepping their power. left since you don't get benefits day one and have to wait 6 months.

Hello, We sincerely apologize that your experience with us in Wichita didn't meet expectations. It's concerning to hear about the inconsistency in workload and management interactions you encountered. That doesn't reflect the professional environment we strive to maintain at DHL. Regarding our benefits waiting period - while this is part of our current policy, we understand it can be challenging for new team members. We take your feedback about management and workflow seriously. These insights help us identify areas where we need to improve our operations and leadership approach. We're working to ensure better workload distribution and clearer management guidelines across all levels. We wish you all the best for the future Your DHL Team
