I have never had such a poor and damaging experience

Pros

The office is easy to get to, smart, and comfortable. The people (except for one individual) are friendly and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

My experience at DB Schenker was incredibly poor. For such a big, global company, the induction was pathetic; reading a load of PDFs and taking some tests relating to that information is not what I would have expected. My biggest grievance was my line 'manager', this individual was a bully and made my short time at DB Schenker unbearable. Within three months of joining I handed in my resignation for the benefit of my health, and without another job lined up, this put me in an uncomfortable situation. In a matter of weeks in starting with the company, I reported my line manager to HR and the situation never improved. While help was offered, not enough was done, or my case taken seriously enough; I got the impression I was the one that had to adjust, and not the bully. My situation however was not unique and there has been a history of poor behavior by the individual, but the company continue to turn a blind eye and since my resignation, I don't believe anything has changed. Appalling. Considering I was told by a senior member of staff that even the guy that provides management training said this person should not be a manager, speaks volumes. DB Schenker needs to be thankful that employment law does not support employees employed for less than two years, otherwise I would most definitely have sought legal advice and taken them to court to compensate for my loss of earnings.

Pros

Good salary for a lot of OT

Cons

What you agree to when you start will most likely stay for a long time. A lot of brach personnel outside Chicago are poorly trained and seem like it’s their first day on the job. It’s up to the managers to push their employees and educate them how to solve issues on their own and become self sufficient. That’s one of the ways I feel that the company improvemts on the service we provide. A well trained and self sufficient employee can change make all the difference. This industry is starved for these kind of employees. They get it!

Pros

Co-workers are great to work with.

Cons

Miami is screaming for a neutral HR Department as there is no one to see what really goes on there!!!! Management has no idea how to lead and they are the ones to form clicks (embarrassing). Employees are over worked, underpaid and unappreciated. It is a shame as this company is so big. DB Schenker watch the trend and you will see why employees desperately need HR to bring some control to the organization. 1-2 employees resign a month (or every other) review it and help those that stay. Take control of management but most of all take control of your company. Pomote and control employee growth, give raises and you will have long term employees.
