Great Global Network, but not poor in all other aspects.

Pros

You will learn the basics and fundamentals of transportation and logistics business from some of the best operations people in the industry. Compensation is adequate and in line with the industry. Financially stable company with strong backing from the DB group.

Cons

Slow to react to the market. Poor IT systems, which create more work for operators and provide zero visibility to customers. Top Management has created a toxic culture, it is a take it or leave organization.

Forklift Driver. Plenty of work, messy higher ups.

Business Outlook

Pros

There's a lot of work and overtime during peak seasons. Some supervisors worked well with employees who got the jobs done. All the operation employees are really friendly and work well together.

Cons

No advancement, extremely poor temp turn over rate. No follow through for months long promised incentives. 12 hour days, 6 days a week nonstop. Due to this, many employees took days off thus creating a heavier workload on the remaining people who showed up. Little to no communication from the bottom to the top in management. Pretty crazy requests for certain orders that are a complete mess, with supervisors pressuring you hard to complete it before the deadlines.
