Pros

Co-workers are good people and the only decent part of the job.

Cons

Mgmt is either out of touch, incompetent, and toxic or some combination of the three. Too many managers who can't do their jobs and are frankly an embarrassment. Every week there's someone crying at their desk, joking about killing themselves, trying to quit, or generally having a slow breakdown. Catty behavior and bullying common - employees will get yelled at in front of the entire office, told to leave if they complain. Some downright illegal things happen here like them telling you not to speak another language in social conversations or managers lying to prevent someone from taking a job in another department by saying they couldn't leave for 3 months (this happened twice that I know of), or nursing mothers being refused a place to use a breast pump as is required BY LAW. If you're a young white male this can be great as some of the female managers here will coddle you and support your ambitions - and flirt with you - but if you're a woman your only ambition should be to be mommy's little helper and their bff. If you try to advance they will act like you betrayed them and make your life hell - ladies know your place there or beware! Don't think that because your boss is a woman she will support you - here it's the exact opposite, I'm afraid. Employees are overworked - 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 HOUR DAYS have happened here and many people try to work off the clock because they're so pressured to try to finish their jobs. Employees are poorly trained and the only things managers care about is CYA and they'll tell you that. The machinery is garbage! 20 year old printers that break down every week - no joke but we get useless televisions to play DHL propaganda all day. And remember - no music allowed because some busybody invented herself a job and title making everyone else miserable.

Pros

No room for advancement due to company politics-not how well you do your job it is who you know

Cons

All companies have politics of sorts- DHL has no management skills employees are paid just to do a job ask no questions
