Screwed if you're not European

Pros

Relaxed atmosphere between employees. Pretty good about needing time off.

Cons

Unless you're Danish or at least European, there is absolutely no chance for advancement. Zero. Local manager always has the wrong priority and is condescending to everyone.

Pros

Desk level agents are generally nice people. Bagel Friday’s for everyone.

Cons

If you are not Danish you literally have no chance for growth or even opportunities. 95% of management, sales, business development managers are of Danish descent. They will purposely import interns with no previous logistic knowledge from Denmark to take roles that individuals who have 10+ years experience were promised. Sales individuals are told to have a book of business, however again they will import Danish people with no book from overseas offices. They are quite gossipy individuals and feel they are above all Americans.

Good riddance.

Pros

Staff-friendly amenities - fruit baskets each week, bagels each end of week, luncheons on special occasions, desks have elevated options to switch from sitting to standing position and vice versa. Socialist, Scandinavian benefits and vacation time - founded and headquarters in Denmark. Option to work/transfer to national and/or international offices.

Cons

Very poorly managed (in some cases mismanaged altogether), lack SOP's for some accounts/trade lanes. Created a hostile environment over time. Constant changes and occasional staff turnover, poor training programs. Inundated email in-box, every member in the department stays in copy to emails regardless of whether or not it has to do with your own desk responsibilities, which interferes with a concentrated desk. Zero opportunity for vertical growth. All heads are Danish appointed colleagues.
