Schenker has been the best office experience job I've ever had.

Key account coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Amazing people to work with, overtime always usually available, lots of in-office activities and get-togethers. Everyone brings in food.

Cons

Pay and compensation is pretty low. Very little room for growth. Raises and increased pay after time is hit or miss.

Company works with some interesting clients. Big and Small. The CEO is extremely accessible and easy to talk to.

Cons

Depending on the location, the office can be a great place to work or a terrible place. Japan is one of the latter.
