Pros

I have nothing positive to say about DHL Express.

Cons

Everything about the company is a downside. I worked for Airborne Express for 14 years. It was a good company with good management. DHL took 5 years to run the company into the ground. And with the decisions that are being made right now on going forth, there will be no future for DHL in the US.

Pros

For the most part, DHL does pay above average.

Cons

Very limited opportunities for women and minorities - you must be a member of the old boys' club to have opportunities. Additionally, anyone below the vice president level is expected to make all the sacrifices so that the executives can keep their good pay, free health benefits and other perks.

Pros

There is no good reason to work for DHL anymore in the US

Cons

Commisions are variable as in the company will adjust your targets throughout the year, and somehow it always leaves you out in the cold
