Pros

A global company with a diverse employ culture. Front line employees were great to work with. Ongoing training and development. Competitive benefits.

Cons

Mediocre salary. Very easy to become mired in reports/kpi's /analysis. "Culture of conference calls and emails" tends to replace real productivity.

Pros

DHL had a lot to offer in regards to positions, departments, etc.. Depending on your niche in the company and who you worked for it was a great place to be.

Cons

Too much of a buddy system. It was all about who do you know and not what you can do. Many promotions were a result of this system and not due to work ethic and performance. Too many people were in the wrong position and didn't have the ability to perform the job.
