Pros

During my internship with DB Schenker UK I was able to gain valuable insights into the logisitcs sector. I was able to take responisblity and learn a lot.

Cons

There is not really anything negative to say about the work here, if you enjoy working for an international logisitcs provider. The industry is not for me - but that is obviously a completely a very personal view.

No sense of urgency anywhere. They have not given any raises in 5 year and the moral is poor.
