A great company to work for. Good chances to advance. Great training, really good place, thoroughly recommend. They treat staff with compassion and respect, and more to the point they value their staff.
Pros
training and advancement
Cons
none
Worked as a class 1hgv driver for 2 years at the dove valley site. Foot to the floor work. And very poor management. Very rude office staff. Pay was average. The vehicles are tracked but constantly on the phone asking how long and where you are. Lots of trailer swaps and strapping. Would never work for them again
Pros
None
Cons
Bad management. Tight deadlines. Under pressure all the time. Many trailer swamps
The company was a high activity of processes to enable products to be delivered to customers on time and in full. A pleasant company to work for unfortunately this side of the Buisness has been sold on.
Very poorly paid for the specialist type of work we carry out. Very long hours early starts and late finishes. 16 hour days is the normal as you are double manned. Can be even longer and no overnight money paid when you stay away because they pay for your digs . Management tell you what you want to hear and do nothing about your issues
Pros
Interesting locations
Cons
Very poor pay
It was a joy to go to work most days. This is key to any company that you want to work for. The people were friendly and the job varied. The annual appraisal process is first class and your recognition for a job well done can come form directors all the way down.
Pros
Discounts on purchases from major retailers.
Cons
None
Shift patern for example on 16days only 3 single one off , no rotation on routs , same one every week if you dont say nothing , a lot of paper work plus same one in the system ,
Pros
Free water
Cons
A lot paper work, long houers
I very much enjoy working with Kuehne+Nagel, I feel appreciated and respected in the workplace. The working style is very relaxed and there is a good work-life balance. I have been with the company for two years now, and don’t envisage myself leaving anytime soon.
Pros
Good team, fair management, clear progression routes
When you start it’s all lively and managers give you the whole big smile .. welcome .. here to help and doors always open Once you actually approach managers with issues you’ll see how quick the smiles turn to frowns, all the managers are concerned about is ticking their boxes for their meetings, your issue will be laughed about and joked about and nothing done. If things do go wrong working at KN good luck in having the managers listen and understand let alone help This is one company I fully regret working for
Pros
You could learn loads of they didn’t run you into the ground
Cons
Lack of empathy to staff
Great job when I started but so many changes through the time became completely different job role in the end plus so many changes within the management that culture of running the contract changed to you’ll do it or else never going to work with that attitude..
Help us improve!
Is Indeed your favorite place to learn about companies?
is ok places to work for long hours but unfair brake system on green nightshift . in 12 hours shift we gets total 1 hours brake but the loading people get 30 minuts at 9.30 and again at 12.00 then hour dinner brake and other 30 minuts at 5.30 . is not fair system
Pros
money ok
Cons
long hour brakes not fair
Although I spent just 3 weeks at KNDL, it gave me a lot. Being trained at LLOP for the first time ever was a very valueable experience to me that later contributed to get a job in another company where I had to be already licensed to proceed (they don't provide MHE trainings). Loved the tasks of order picking + general housekeeping, training was detailed & well-presented, people friendly and helpful. I left only because of the fact that business was slowing down which had cost pickers working hours. I worked at Dove Valley Park in Foston, located 21 miles away from my home. Salary was fine, weekly payments accurate. Wish I lived closer there. I WOULD RECOMMEND THE COMPANY.
Pros
Tasks and overall experience with co-workers
Cons
Cold environment, slightly far away
K&N have no support for its staff. All they are interested in are then selfs. If you do not fit in the crowd you are treated appaulingly. Management not interested in staff.They want to discipline you over The stupid things. They never reward hard work. If I had the chance I would recommend that no one works for K&zNIThe only good thing I can say is that I am glad I no longer work for them.
Pros
Non
Cons
No support
bad management no progression bullying is common this is based on ten years experience of seeing the turnaround of staff who all left for the same reasons
Pros
None
Cons
Bullying culture
I think is rubbish company because all staffs is rubbish. I think the company needs to be completely reformed. Too many Poles abusing workers, and the management team is mediocre.
Cannot complain at all, really enjoy my job ( can be stressful at times), good office staff on nights, good runs as well. Paid could be better but I would say competitive enough
Same boring job day in day out management never around all they care about is the amount you pick. There is no work culture everyone walks round Like it's the day of the living died
Pros
None
Cons
The day i walked out
Avoid at all costs. Management think they are better than everyone else. Pay is just above minimum wage when job involves safety critical aircraft parts worth millions of pounds.Working hours are the only good thing about working here short working days (7 hours)Corrupt management who look out only for themselves, no progression if your face doesn't fit or you are not a yes man/womenBully boy tactics by managers who wouldn't say boo to a goose outside of the work.Plenty of pay rises and bonuses for management however the lowest paid workers see very little pay rise and bonus.
Pros
short shifts
Cons
awful pay, poor management, no progression
17 years ago i was of the opinion i could retire at Kuehne + Nagel that was not to be and it was a sad day when we was made Redundant on the first day after TUPE over to DSV,
But the vision of Kuehne + and Nagel is second to none and i defiantly recommend it,
Pros
Good company to work for
Cons
Can be Hectic at times
I was employed through agency, management and staff were so friendly and helpful, I left due to factory re locating. K and n offered me a job at the new location but sadly was to far for me to travel.
Pros
Atmosphere, wages, overtime
Cons
None
A typical day is based around supporting our customer to maintain production levels to the highest standard. We have a fast moving environment. Some of the tools we use could be newer, but most of a good standard. The hardest part of the job is balancing the demands of the customer across a busy site.
Each day is a busy day therefore they fly by.
It is very enjoyable to see people progressing through the many opportunities across the company.
Pros
Pension, loyalty holidays, discount scheme.
Cons
Flexibility is required
