Pros

DHL is the best at international Transportation of small parcels.

Cons

DHL has been losing money for about 8 years now. In the early 2000s the german post office bought DHL and then in 2003 the German post office bought Airborne. in 2004 they merged the two companies together and their losses have increased every year since then. There is still a great divide in the company between the former employees of each company. Senior management seems to be making mistake after mistake. DHL is now downsizing and contracting many company functions out. DHL main hub is in Wilmington OH where DHL has the largest privately owned Airport. Their frieght is flown by two different airlines in and out of Wilmington and their east and west hubs. DHL will be closing it's hubs UPS will be flying dHL's freight in the near future. Despite their efforts and laying off 300 employees (745 already and 2000-2500 to come) DHL is projecting to lose 1.4 billion dollars next year, up from 960 million in 2007

Pros

They are often hiring because they can't retain people; its relatively easy to get a job here.

Cons

Bone crushing hours that just keep increasing the longer you work here. Salary gets worse with no raises. Mnagement hostile to time off, even when legitimately sick; long hours means you are likely to skip excercise and Dr. appointments and your health could suffer. Dirty dock environment. Long hours and no time off means when you get fed up with the place, you won't have the time or energy to find a good job and make your escape.
