Good company with hard decisions to make.

Import coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

High amount of dedication and commitment by management and employees. Compensation and recognition received when earned. The Company is merging with BAX Global and taking time to do it right. Management is avoiding mistakes DHL made after purchasing ABX. The Company does appear committed to keeping as many employees as possible. Morale is high even in uncertain times.

Cons

Job security concerns and anxiety due to merger with BAX Global and weak industry. Information and training communication breakdowns to employees that can most benefit. There are cultural differences between BAX and Schenker employees. The mixing of the two company systems, policy, procedures and HR can leave you very confused.
