Pros

Experience is not required, quite the opposite. the trainee program allows you to gain information about forwarding agencies and truck dispatch. Obviously there are some better departments which I would recommend as Scandinavia (dont recommend UK department)

Cons

I agree with other reviewers, the offices are overcrowded and extremely noisy. No wonder, there are too many people in one building. Irrespectively from LKW WALTER job offers and descriptions they offer only dispatch roles. After several years of truck disposal there is a small chance to become a sales guy but it doesn’t mean you get a higher salary. It a shame how LKW WALTER deal with experienced people (security management team members, head of the traffics – with and without ferries) thus I wouldn’t consider LKW WALTER job offers as a potentially interesting for your career. I was the last of 12 people who left the company (in 7 years no one was left!)

Pros

The trainee program was good. A few weeks of presentation combined with a few departments that are being visited. The salary is competitive. Good company to have on the CV.

Cons

I think that my experience was subjective and it is very easy to have such an experience at this company, because your work-life balance depends on the higher management that you are under. The promised home office days depend on the higher manager and a lot of other rules depend on them, because he/she has the power to shorten or cut how they want. You either agree with the new rules or you leave. It is a rigid top-down management style as far as I have noticed. If you like a good beginners-salary without any say or opinion in the administration then go for it.
