Pros

Above-average compensation, and the fact that your job description is so incredibly fluid that you can make it what you want to make it. If you're ambitious, you have a crack at having a major positive impact

Cons

Your job description (and the entire organization) is so incredibly fluid that it allows many to slip under the radar and never do an honest day's work to save their lives.

Pros

Worked downtown; it presented a laid back atmosphere; casual dress for employees, I got along well with management; was not questioned on decisions and was backed up by management.

Cons

I was an ex-Airborne employee and worked temporarily for DHL after they took over our beloved Airborne. The way this was handled was never very comfortable. There were people that had 20+ (some even 30+) years of service to a company that was not very honest with them when DHL took over. Airborne executives really only wanted one thing and that was lots and lots of cash. Employees that spent a good chunk of their youth/life at the corporate offices were let go without so much as a thank you. It was handled so disgracefully. My heart goes out to all those that stayed to the bitter end. Best of luck to you.

Pros

DHL Express did pay decent salaries as compared to similiar companies in the metro area.

Cons

Working there was stressful. They merged employees from different companies(Airborne, Danzas, DHL) but different company cultures didn't mesh well. The end result was more like a quilt than a melting pot. Also I was worried the whold time just how long would I have a job. Looking at their business model, I just couldn't see how they would ever become profitable in the US Market. Unfortunately in time it turned out my instincts were right. I count myself as one of the lucky ones who left before the job market soured.
