Pros

DHL is a well recognized brand, especially outside of US. A lot of people are very competent and enjoable to work with.

Cons

Commission structure sucks. Quarter over quarter, you are only as good as your last quarter. Current sales director in the west coast is from UPS, and he believes in the big brown military method -- it does not matter how long you have been with the company and how well you performed in the past, if you are not producing this quarter, you would be put on corrective action. There are a lot of turnover in sales, no loyalty. local management all comes from overseas -- they don't really want to be here, but only use this as their next big opportunity. Strategy wise, it is very short-term. Management does not have a genuine interest on people locally.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
