Maersk Logistics Reviews

Pros

Pleasant atmosphere with excellent working conditions and benefits. Company culture quite reserved and everyone treated with dignity and respect. Good opportunities for training. Management generally has open-door policy and suggestions for improvements are welcomed.

Since economic downturn too much is demanded of too few workers and the outsourcing of a number of tasks to the global service center makes communication and problem-resolution difficult.

do work/ time measurement study to determine realistic KPI's and set them accordingly. Recognize and reward colleagues based on performance: promote from within.

It is a good place for the starter. You can learn a lot from the work. And it is the company with well known name.

Listen to what employee say. Focus on more on the business. Promote the employee who perform good job. Build up IT system please.

Advice to Senior Management

walk away from your desk and start building human relationships with clients

Pros

Management is strong and the company seems to care very much for its employees. The history and culture are strong and the scale of the larger organization(APM-Maersk) is impressive, very financially stable.

Cons

The company is placing more focus on benchmarking against competition and this will place more pressure on individual performance. This is not necessarily a bad thing but will result in greater internal pressure to achieve financial results. Job stability may not be what it once was.

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to focus on communicating areas of focus and objectives for the larger organization. This is a challenging economic environment and being open and honest is valued by all.

Pros

Good work experience and working there will put you in a good position to earn more money when you leave.

Cons

The payreviews are very poor and you can often find yourself 20% behind market value

Advice to Senior Management

Ensure preformance is rewarded, this would cut down on staff turnover
