Large, stable organization in an expanding industry

Direct management cannot clearly articulate career paths for direct reports. Feedback is often opinion-based and not actionable.

Dear colleague, First of all, thank you for being part of our DHL family for over 6 years and for your efforts to make our company the world leader in logistics. We are very thankful for your review. Your rating is good. In a few areas, you have signaled that you see further potential for optimization, especially management. Since we do everything we can to get a little better every day, we will do everything we can to achieve 100% in that too. We appreciate your feedback and advice to management that clear goal planning and defined career paths are more beneficial than a pretty policy that no one follows. We are sure management can help by developing a plan for employee advancement, from scheduled raises to increases in responsibility levels and training for new skills, which can help you advance within the positions even without full-scale promotions but within the scope of our possibilities. Please keep in mind that you are welcome to bring all of your comments directly to your management on-site, along with any other improvement suggestions or advice. We believe they will be delighted to hear you out and see what can be done. Please let us know how we can support you. Best wishes to Westerville. Your DHL Team

Horrible place to work

Pros

I got a chance to learn how to work in all departments of a mailroom warehouse. I met some good people, If there was a different supervisor I could have worked for I probably would have stayed but the little She-man was just too much for me!!

Cons

The supervisor was a hot mess, she kept a lot of unnecessary drama going between the employees and her staff in the workplace. A lot of favoritism, sexual harassment, and just a lot of high school behavior going on in the workplace. Very unprofessional. On payday, it was like guess-a-check it was never consistent due to lack of hours because it all depends on the mail flow and who was going to get sent home for the day if they couldn't find a different area for you to work in.
