Pros

Good benefits. Hybrid work. Pay is ok.

Onboarding is not good at all. It took days to have access to their learning platform. Bad communication. Hostile emails. Would call people out in front of the whole team.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write this review and evaluate us. We're glad you had the option of working from home and that the pay was adequate. We apologize that you believe our onboarding is inadequate and that management communication could be improved. That concerns us, and we will look into it because we believe they must do their job well so that you can work well as well. No manager is perfect, and stress can bring out the worst in people. Communication is the act of giving, receiving, and sharing information, which includes talking, writing, listening and reading. We apologize for your negative experiences with our company in this regard. Thank you for your commitment and loyalty during your time with us. Best wishes Your DHL Team
