Pros

Good location, hybrid, great benefits, fun events, colleagues are friendly and helpful Depends on your manager and team, I believe other teams have better work culture practiced

Cons

Had wonderful managers previously but not the case anymore. Favoritism among my team, and tasks not properly distributed among team members, too many plans and ‘discussions’ to automate as solution yet still expected to cope with manual work! As someone who is still quite new in the industry, I feel very disrespected for the manual work just thrown continuously on me with no understanding between the managers and employees. Even after voicing out my concern, still no improvement. Culture wise, used to be good , not anymore especially with how comfortable the way managers can treat the younger employees badly

Dear colleague, Thank you for your input. We are sorry to hear that your experience at our site has been far from satisfactory lately. We take every case extremely seriously. More often than not, it is the management that makes your job difficult. No manager is perfect, and sometimes stress brings out the worst behaviors. When a workspace is unhealthy, it impacts employee retention. That makes employee turnover inevitable, which places additional stress on you and your colleagues. Feel free to contact your HR colleagues to talk about these topics. Hopefully, we will soon be able to intensively work on some of the topics you mentioned to increase your employee satisfaction. Of course, this doesn't always happen at the same speed everywhere, but we're working on getting a little better every day. Nevertheless, thank you for all your hard work and effort so far. You make a difference by connecting people and improving lives! 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
