Pros

Benefits are pretty decent considering.

Cons

Poor management that cares very little about the people. Staff was close to 400 in 2011 now done to less than 200 if that. Will work the crap out of you then say you need to push yourself. No accountability from management or anyone in leadership. Mandatory overtime and furloughs happen often.

Dear colleague, Thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us through this review. In DHL, we strive to provide our employees with the best conditions and remuneration to make them feel valued with us. We regret that you felt that the management did not have an open ear for employees. We are always looking to improve our organization in terms of employee feedback and we invite you to make suggestions for improvement. An open and transparent discussion is important to us. Each employee should receive a remuneration that is tailored to his or her work. We are sorry that you felt your remuneration was unfair. We would be happy to talk to you again personally and learn more about your situation. Feel free to contact your human resources department and share your experiences/ suggestions for improvement with them. Now, more than ever is the time to support and take care of each other. We are here for you. Your Deutsche Post and DHL Team

I have a lot of good things to say about DHL. The company really cares about their talent. Benefits are good. The pay is good.

Only bad thing is the micromanaging of some supervisors.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience at our Orlando site. We’re glad to read that you valued the salary, the 4x10 shift structure, and especially the relationships with your peers. At the same time, we regret the challenges you described related to senior management behavior, HR involvement, and consistency in people practices. A respectful, professional work environment where policies are applied fairly and leaders act with accountability is fundamental to our culture, and it’s clear there are areas where continued improvement is needed. To clarify, participation in company supported charitable or donation initiatives is strictly voluntary. Employees are not expected or required to contribute, and any perception of pressure is not aligned with our policies or expectations. If these initiatives were experienced differently, we would take that feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to reflect on how our communications and practices are perceived. While we are sorry to learn that the overall culture did not meet your expectations, we appreciate you clearly outlining your concerns. Feedback like this plays an important role in ongoing reflection and improvement. Thank you for the contributions you made during your time with DHL. We wish you all the best moving forward. Best regards, Your DHL Team
