Hello, Thank you very much for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. It's a pity that your rating isn't positive. Our goal is that you feel respected and valued by us and that we are an employer of choice for you, in good times and in difficult times, which was not the case at your site in Reading. The way you have been treated influences how you manage your emotions. Management must be encouraged to reduce negative feelings within the organization. That is a concern to us and something we will investigate. We recommend that, in the future, you discuss with your HR colleagues the topics that you believe can be optimized to contribute to a better working environment and your well-being. Topics must be discussed before optimization can begin. We wish you much success and satisfaction in your next job. But most of all, thank you for all your efforts and patience. Your DHL Team.

Corrupt management

Pros

None, mid level management totally corrupt

Cons

Mid level management taking back handers from companies for extortionate contracts. Bullying is rife, dishonest management practices to get rid of staff (making up lies and backing each other up to force people out). I'd give zero stars if I could.

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are sorry to hear that you felt our company was unfair and that we have not given you, as an employer, the appreciation you deserve. We always strive to create the best possible working conditions for our employees, including a fair and inclusive work environment where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. We value and recognize the efforts of all our employees. We apologize if your hard work went unnoticed and for the unfair treatment you received, and we will strive to do better in the future by ensuring that all employees have a route for escalation when something isn't right. We encourage our employees to share their reasoned comments with their manager or local HR department. With direct, open, and honest communication, we can make sustainable changes. We wish you all the best in the future and thank you for your efforts. Your DHL Team.
