      Pros

      The hours and pay we’re great. You’re making 15 an hour and working 10 hour shifts. You basically work alone with exception of having to be a team when the belt machine is on. Once you figure out what you’re doing, everything is easy.

      Cons

      You’re on call so I hope you don’t have any plans because you have to be ready whenever they are. You don’t have a set schedule, you don’t know when you’re leaving because you can only leave when you are done for the day. If your manager doesn’t have the papers to sort the packages done on time, then you have to wait for extended amounts of time. It’s very unorganized. The warehouse I worked at was very small so we didn’t get many machines to help with the work therefore, everything was done by hand. You’re on your feet the entire time you’re there, there isn’t a set lunch time. On some days, you don’t even have time to take a break and eat lunch because there is so much work to do. I quit after a month of working there.

      Dear colleague, Thanks for dropping by here on Glassdoor and leaving us your valuable feedback. Unfortunately, it is not as good as we would like it to be, but that's another reason to take it into account for the planning of further improvement actions. A good work-life balance must also include reasonable schedules and work plans. There are situations of higher workloads, especially in moments of peak seasons, yet this should not affect the needed balance that employees deserve. We are working hard through these exceptionally difficult times to make our core mission a reality, connecting people, improving lives, and this has brought challenges that put pressure on the operation, however it's because of the hard work of our workers and leaders that we have accomplished so much! Also, open communication should be fostered throughout the company, and unsupportive and isolated work environments shouldn't be promoted. We sincerely thank you for the work done during your time with us, all the best in your future projects. Warm greetings, Your DHL Team

      Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience at our Orlando site. We’re glad to read that you valued the salary, the 4x10 shift structure, and especially the relationships with your peers. At the same time, we regret the challenges you described related to senior management behavior, HR involvement, and consistency in people practices. A respectful, professional work environment where policies are applied fairly and leaders act with accountability is fundamental to our culture, and it’s clear there are areas where continued improvement is needed. To clarify, participation in company supported charitable or donation initiatives is strictly voluntary. Employees are not expected or required to contribute, and any perception of pressure is not aligned with our policies or expectations. If these initiatives were experienced differently, we would take that feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to reflect on how our communications and practices are perceived. While we are sorry to learn that the overall culture did not meet your expectations, we appreciate you clearly outlining your concerns. Feedback like this plays an important role in ongoing reflection and improvement. Thank you for the contributions you made during your time with DHL. We wish you all the best moving forward. Best regards, Your DHL Team
