Pros

Entrepreneur environment in the field, and opportunities to be hands on. Very diverse global workforce with people from many parts of the World working in the same corporate, region or country office. Transfer opportunities available. Telecommuting opportunities available depending on your manager or team.

Cons

Continues restructuring to make investor community happy impacting employee moral. Entrepreneur environment creates power struggle on the top. Weak HR management. Promotions feel like hand picked not giving fair chance to better qualified internal candidates. Bonn Tower "corporate headquarters" full of career bureaucrats and red tape.

DHL is a bad company.

Pros

It would be better than no job at all.

Cons

After working for the company for 21 years they released all the original employees and contracted out all their services to the lowest bidder. Compared to UPS and FEDEX, DHL projects an image of a comparable service but in reality the product provided is inferior to the competition. If you are looking for the lowest cost and lowest quality product then DHL is the company for you.
