Pros

Has performed well in a challenging environment. Strong brand value and customer loyalty. Has carried out some deft re-structuring that helped the company fundamentals

Cons

Currently markets across the globe are in a challenging situation but companies should take extra care and make sure employee's are not distracted with talks of job cuts and other speculations. DHL has not been very successful and left their employees exposed too many negative speculations without any clarification forthcoming
