Great team knowledge but overwhelming workloads - Anonymous employee ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Employee Review

they really care about their employees, the pay is on par with the rest of the industry, and almost all the coworkers like, and treat each other well.

like most companies, higher level jobs are less available than lower level jobs. it could be a little challenging to move up the ladder.

One of the best parts of working here is the 4:1 schedule. The rhythm of four days on and one day off has been a game‑changer for my work–life balance. It keeps the workload manageable and gives you a consistent break to reset. I feel more energized and focused because I’m never running on empty. The company genuinely seems to understand how sustainable schedules improve morale and productivity.

It can take a little time to get used to the rotation, especially if you're coming from a traditional 5‑day schedule, but once you settle in it becomes a major perk.
