Business Outlook

Pros

DHL provides a reasonable salary and good benefits. The Corporate strategy is strong and growth opportunities are very good.

Cons

The leadership culture is a top down approach. Communication from the Top level regarding general information is good, however, communication from a departmental perspective is poor. Due to the nature of the business, the work hours are demanding and do not support a realistic work/life balance.
