    The system and poor organisation
    The good thingsHorrible manager only care about profits Lack of care of staff and poor management of new workers
    The challengesBack stabbing management. Profit above people. Management who talk down to you. Toxic favouritism managers tell you that you are doing a good job then hear rhen bag on about employees. No wonder casual and full time employees are looking at other jobs. Bad management refers to ineffective leadership that harms employees and the organization, often characterized by poor communication, micromanagement, and a lack of support or development for staff. It can lead to low morale, decreased productivity, and high employee turnover, creating a toxic work environment.

    Great people, challenging market, a lot of learning and amazing Global networking experience
    The good thingsIt is a company with great values, integrity and ambition. The environment is very challenging and full of great and experienced people which creates a great place for learning and development
    The challengesSometimes the strategy are not cascade properly by the management team or the board. The yearly performance review is based on leader decision, there is no checking if its done the best and fair way. A lot of times the financial results are more important than people management and learning

    Collaborative and Rewarding Work Environment
    The good thingsWorking at Kuehne+Nagel has been an incredible experience. The team culture is one of the standout aspects for me—it's collaborative, supportive, and focused on growth. As a long-term employee, I’ve had the privilege of contributing to an environment where everyone supports each other, and we work toward a shared vision. The opportunities for career growth and development are also exceptional. I've been able to take on diverse responsibilities that have expanded my skills and opened doors for progression. What I love most is the focus on people—whether it's mentoring team members, celebrating wins together, or tackling challenges head-on, the amazing colleagues here make it a fantastic place to work. If you're looking for a company where you can grow, be valued, and make an impact, I’d highly recommend Kuehne+Nagel!
    The challengesWhile the fast-paced nature of logistics can be demanding, it’s also incredibly rewarding, as it fosters resilience, problem-solving skills, and a strong sense of accomplishment when overcoming challenges as a team
