Very Disappointing

Pros

The other employee's are the only thing worth turning up for each day. I have met and work with some really wonderful people.

Cons

There is no real opportunities in Schenker to progress. You may be offered a higher title, but they do not offer the money to go with the position. You are expected to manage staff for the same money as the people you are suposed to be leading.

Good insurance. Fun environment not super strict. No over the top dress codes

Not a good environment. After being acquired by a German company in 2010, it all went downhill.

Sales

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefit jpackage and overall comp plan. Outside sales has freedom but you better meet your quota. You will be put on action plan if you don't hit a very unrealistic quota that upper management does not share until far into the quarter. They are ALWAYS late paying quarterly commissions.

Cons

Bad management from afar and very inadequate and antiquated networking, systems and tools.
