Emilia Palubiak

Emilia Palubiak is from Poland and now lives in Venray. Every day she comes to PVH by car and when she is not at work? Emilia is busy with her great passion: make-up. We meet her at her department where she tells us all about working in the Netherlands. 

Can you tell us a little more about your work?
"I work here as a picker and packer. When you work as a picker you collect clothes for the placed orders. As packer you pack these orders. In addition, I also support our supervisor with various tasks. Every morning before we start, we are told what you will be doing that day. So, one day you work as a picker and the next as a packer. That keeps the work fun and diverse."

Which do you personally enjoy more, picking or packing?
"I like packing a little more than picking, but picking is not so bad as well. Picking is just like shopping. You walk with a trolley and you collect the products you need. What I also like is that it is very clean and light work. I have worked in other logistics companies before and I can say that this work really suits me. We are now also in the accessories department, which is all light products. You don't get back problems or anything like that."

It doesn't seem easy to come to work as a Polish person in another country where you don't speak the language. How does that go?
"It actually goes very well. The atmosphere here is very multicultural and the communication internally is in Dutch, but also in English. I’m quite good at English myself but there are also some Polish employees here who cannot speak English, so we help them with the translation. I always say: we care about everybody, so you help each other. 

I intend to stay here longer, and I want to continue to grow. I am now learning Dutch for example, but it’s a really difficult language. I already know quite a few words, but I still find it difficult to turn them into sentences." 

Do you also think PVH is a nice employer?
"Yes, definitely! Almost the entire company works in day shifts and I really like that. I work from Monday to Friday and I have an hourly guarantee of 40 hours. That gives me so much peace. Since I came to work here I have been in this department which means I have been working with the same people for two years and that works best for me. Not too much change, just a pleasant working environment." 

Would you also recommend others to come and work here?
"We have a very nice international team. Everyone is open and tolerant towards each other. If you look around you can see that there are many different people working here. Somehow that always goes so well together. The atmosphere is really top notch, and the work is fun so I would recommend it to anyone."

Serge Jespers

E-commerce employee

The organization really listens to you and makes sure you perform work that suits you. If you indicate that a certain job doesn't suit you or that you find a certain assignment a bit more difficult, that's no problem at all.

I know exactly what I can get out of PVH, and that works the other way around as well. What I also like is that we really look at whether the work suits a person.

I personally like an open, approachable, no-nonsense culture. When I walked in here four years ago, I experienced that immediately. Everyone is helpful and wants to achieve the best result for the organization.
