Not impressed. Company came in and took over doing terrible

Material handler/forklift operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Got a raise when they took over. That's it ...

Cons

Change your hours around if you work any shift other than 1st shift. You know so management doesn't have to change there schedule and stay a extra 30 minutes to tell you something so you can come in a extra 4 hours early . Makes sense haha. So if you take a dhl job pick 1st shift. Management sucks. If you work with dhl only work 1st shift because they will make you come in on there shift to do stupid pointless stuff and safety meetings and expect you to cater to them. There all about saving money except on themselves.... Meaning taking hours away from you. Taking holiday pay. You literally have to use your PTO to get holiday pay ... Terrible company ....

Review of DHL Express Egypt IT

Program delivery analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In general one of the most enjoyable parts of working at DHL Egypt would be the people and the atmosphere, at least in my experience, management generally defers to me and never placed unrealistic demands of me. There was good health insurance and an approachable HR. Hours were in consistent at 9-5 with work beyond that rare for my postion (not the case for most)

Cons

The biggest drawback was pay, especially for the IT field. (Though yearly increases were substantial they did not make up the difference). Moreover, the program Delivery postion had minimal technical aspects in terms of work and training.
