Pros

It’s a good job for your employees without experience . LKW Walter will brain wash you during “Trainee Program”. You take over the P&L responsibility in small areas where you are supposed to leverage the profitability. You speak with eastern European hauliers and drivers trying to convince them to take a load from you.

Cons

Positive feedback about LKW is being produced by HR department. Only a few will survive at LKW Walter more than couple years (if so than Austrian). LKW is everything else they promise on their website – job is not save. Young and inexperienced are preferred as they don’t ask questions and follow the instructions.

Pros

Good salary for a beginner Living in Vienna International environment If you go to companies that know LKW Walter's culture, you don't need to convince them that you can work under pressure You can leave at 5:45 every day

Cons

Stress Something always goes wrong, every day Around 40-50 calls per day Managing transport partners is very challenging Being responsible for every Euro, meaning high pressure from management If you arrive twice late, at 8:10 at the office per week you have discussion with your manager about being punctual Firing people is considered as normal I would say try it if you want to be an employee here but be aware of all these cons. After this some comments might be written of good working culture, good career possibilities and so on but you will realize when working there which comment was written by HR and which by "Disponenten"

Pros

Some benefits like the bus from Vienna to Wiener Neudorf as well as the cantine, where you can a lunch for less than 2 euros

Cons

LKW Walter is violating the Austrian labour law with max 10 working hours a day. I was working for at least 50 hours a week and sometimes even more. LKW Walter ask you to visit the carriers. They have been booking the flights for evening commencing 6PM. This was meaning a day shift of over 12-14hours. Business trips the same – you got to visits at least 5 carriers a day. No one cares how to manage this considering you finish the day in the hotel. I guess 2 years ago the management was trying to convince the people to start working at 7 for the same labour (time shift, higher productivity, more calls, more shipments, more money).
