Pros

Watch planes take off and land

Cons

Supervisors are the vile creatures of bullying pathetic managers. These people enjoy victimising and causing mental anguish. Recording statements, writing notes about you but not showing the transcript. Just go for a tribunal and skip the process.

Dear colleague, Thank you for sharing your 3 star review. It’s good to read that work–life balance and flexibility have been positive aspects of your experience in Petaling Jaya. Your concerns about limited career growth and a low salary package are noted. If progression feels slow or if compensation does not reflect your responsibilities, we encourage you to discuss this with your manager or local HR. They can help explore development opportunities and provide guidance on compensation frameworks. Your feedback helps us continuously improve. Thank you for your ongoing contribution. Your DHL Team
