Pros

DHL's compensation plan, work-life balance, and quality employees.

Cons

The communication factor--during tough times they do not explain what they are going to do to make change. Rather they make radical changes that effects everyones careers.

DHL Express USA is not the place to work right now. Some very bad business decisions made over the last 5 years!

Pros

I learned a lot about the express business working there. I got to work in several different areas of the company.

Cons

It was once a great place to work, that was when it was a privately held company. Now it is just BIG business and all about who you know. Not a lot of value placed on long term employees.

I would avoid taking a position in this company for the near future.

Business Outlook

Pros

They are starving for great employees to help them out of their current bind. Through Germany, the company has been supported financially, so they have been very fair to salaries and OK with benefits. My boss realized there was more to life than work, so I was able to take time off as necessary. The senior managment IS trying to communicate to their employees, but recently has been more focused on RIF and restructuring than listening/communicating.

Cons

Within the last year, the company has been extremely unprofitable and has been restructuring as best as they can. Career opportunities are horrible unless you jump to a different internal DHL company. Employee morale is low as most people are wondering when they will be RIF'd as well.
