It could have been a great company

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay and benefits were competitive

Cons

Current financial situation is poor and future prospects for the company are bleak. Since the merger of DHL and Airborne there has been no clear direction or vision for the company. There was a wave of almost uncontrolled spending following the merger without a commensurate increase in revenues. Staff and management were added, salaries were increased and titles were inflated. The former DHL and Airborne management were polarized and could not manage to work together for the good of the company.

DHL is circling the drain.

Operations manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is very competitive with other like companies. Benefits are also competitive and one of the strongest assets that DHL provides.

Cons

The work environment is extremely stressful, with upper management seemingly out of touch or unwilling to communicate the true state of affairs. Various corporate initiatives to improve productivity and decrease costs have met with complete failure due to unrealistic expectations and lack of patience on the part of upper management. The need for instant gratification by senior management has never allowed initiatives to take hold and produce results. Instead, the managers responsible for implementing these initiatives had their hands tied with immediate budget cuts and rampant micromanagement.
