Fleet department

Good salary, working continental shifts. Paid bonuses depending on management reviews and performance. Management could be more hands on and engage with employees.

Hard work but good pay

Warehouse Operative (Former Employee) - Hinckley, Leicestershire - 19 August 2023

Very physically demanding job but you do get paid well. However, you can get paired with someone who is very slow at their job and you will both get penalised

goodplace for part time but those two days even a deadly place to work.

Parcel Sorter Lead (Former Employee) - Hinckley - 5 April 2023

A good place to work for a part-time 20-hour job, but a dangerous place to work on those two days. Supervisors in HUB 4 and 5 are difficult to communicate with and never seem to appreciate your efforts.On the other hand, at DPD International Gateway (IG), supervisors and managers are very interactive and always appreciate your work, which keeps us motivated.

Going down hill fast

Warehouse Operative (Current Employee) - Hinckley, Leicestershire - 4 March 2023

What was a nice job that payed decent years ago is nothing more then near minimum wage and exhausting now. Management company wide has changed in the last few years and now its all about making as much profit possible while giving none of it back to staff. A lot of the benefits we received years ago is no longer there. Your better off getting a job at Tesco, it actually pays more! How things have changed for the worse

Worst place

Parcel Sorter (Former Employee) - Hinckley, Leicestershire - 27 December 2022

The worst warehouse I have ever been. The security at the gate was very rude and didn’t let us in on my first day; the Dpd told me to give uniform on my first day ( which they didn’t gave) and to wear “Dark” clothes. However the security thinks that “navy blue” is not the DARK COLOUR. I just want to request dpd to take educated people in their warehouse.“NAVY BLUE IS NOT A DARK COLOUR” - from security at dpd.

Cons

Rude people

Impersonal well paid but soul destroying

HGV Class 1 Driver (Former Employee) - Hinckley - 23 December 2022

Well paid and lots of being it’s but found personal life is of little consequence and if issues arise in work or at home you’re an inconvenience and find your number will be flagged whatever the reason… you receive no help from management work wise or personal but if a compliant and have the ability to robotically work by command without deviating or using initiative the job is straightforward and rewarding

Pros

Pay

Cons

Unstable
