Pros

* Decent Base Salary * Good global operations network * Opportunities for advancement

Cons

* Short-term commission period where acquisition revenue is often discontinued before a new account fully ramps up their shipping with DHL *Micromanagement at an unbearable level. You're not treated like a professional. *Responsible for an extreme level of admin work and way too many performance discussions and often unnecessary meetings that keeps one away from maximizing sales revenue * You feel like an easily replaceable cog in a massive machine * Too many layers of management and red-tape to get simple tasks accomplished * Constantly decreasing commission structure year-on-year and ridiculous base salary increases that don't even keep up with the rate of inflation, ever for a strong performer in good standing * Unhappy drivers and operations folks (with some exceptions) that are largely miserable to deal with

Pros

Good pay, great benefits, nice team members, lots of overtime, on site cafe, exercise room

Cons

Pay is not good enough for the stress, benefits for family are very expensive, team not supervisors are nice -always pushing to be faster and make less mistakes. Also during a peak time do you feel like, "I need a break". Well forget it, they take breaks away as it is lawful to do so but it is not fair. Brace yourself, need that lunch your not supposed to eat at your desk? You may have to wait till the last hour of your shift, Departmental needs you know!! Lots of overtime because they can't keep the building staffed, smart people quit shortly after training.
