The hardest part of the job was getting operational support in – more... a timely fashion

The most enjoyable part was signing new companies and growing my region . – less

good place to learn about the industry if you are just starting out. there are some good colleagues in the company who are willing to teach you and make sure you know what you are doing.

management is non existent, until you do something wrong. was never told if i'm doing a good or bad job. would prefer to know the team objectives and goals. asked – more... around with other senior staff, but they didn't know as well.

work load can pile up quickly and you are expected to work overtime to finish it. many times i work till 7pm. i didn't enjoy working late all the time. – less

DBSchenker is a great company to work for.
2011 was really challenging due to restructuring and too many changes in personnel.
Overall DB is a healthy company but I need to close this chapter and open a new one. With 25 years of experience in the freight business
I am sure I can be in a good position to provide added value to Panalpina.
What I enjoy – more... the most is working with people , I am a team player and work with corresponding operations managers on a regular basis in order to continously improve our productivity and keep our overhead ( operating and personnel ) cost to a respectable level; Monthly analysis of financial results by product and explain the +,(-) deviations to budget and to same period prior year.
Enjoy working on the forecast and the budget by being aggressive enough to push our ops managers and sales reps to continue performing at a high level with expected growth year over year. – less

DB Schenker is an excellent company to work at, everyone is super nice including management and upper management. If you need help with anything or even have a question in mind, anyone is willing to help.

DB Schenker is a great place to work...if you work in Germany! The work-life balance is perfect and there are a lot of opportunities for you to explore. However, if you work in the US or other country organization, it may not the case. The career advancement is not that easy. The job security depends upon the economy. Overall it is a good place to work – more... but it is also like other 3PL that people come and go among different 3PL and the company doesn't have a clear career path or any guideline for the personal development. You will need to figure out on your own. – less

DB Schenker is a great place to work and learn from the most experienced individuals in the freight industry.

DB Schenker, as people from Freight forwarding industry would know, is a giant mnc and is one of the leading firms in the industry. If you are interested in the freight and logistics industry, then Schenker is the best company to work with, and there is ample of scope for learning and self development.
But remuneration in this industry is not as lucrative – more... as found in some other industries, and career growth is slow. the work environment is not atypical of an MNC. – less
