Pros

Initially DHL Express was a good company with solid management team and a quality non union courier base that provided premium international express service. The pay and benefits were decent and you could manage your group without too much interference from above as long as you made your goals.

Cons

Everything changed after 2003 with the acquisition of Airborne Express to gain a foot print in the US domestic market. Hours increased, goals and targets changed monthly...Communication to the front-line supervisors and managers became threatening and in some cases very secretive. Promotions and the review process became something of a joke and had more to do with favoritism than actual results. Courier base shifted to some unions and independent contractors as the DHL company trained couriers were laid off. Premium service suffered customers were lost.

Pros

Good starting pay. Tuition Reimbursement. Fast-paced environment, but you don't have to take your work home with you. Boot vouchers provided for safety boots. Good benefits.

Cons

Long hours during holiday seasons. Promotions based on brown-nosing and not ability. Job stability--they keep moving the entire operation! Outdoor working conditions.

Pros

Above-average compensation, and the fact that your job description is so incredibly fluid that you can make it what you want to make it. If you're ambitious, you have a crack at having a major positive impact

Cons

Your job description (and the entire organization) is so incredibly fluid that it allows many to slip under the radar and never do an honest day's work to save their lives.
