Pros

Not a terribly IQ required to figure out how to be there waiting when senior management arrives at the obvious conclusion on direction. Right place, right time means you can get large bar bills picked up by others. Good place to build early logistics experience for use elsewhere.

Cons

Company tends to talk thru it's hat on advancement and direction. Career paths or development simply do not exist. In a tough market with very focused competition with clear strategies DHL attempts to be all things to all people. That results in a bloated structure at all levels and multiple leadership points pulling in different directions. The follow on is that the company knows no otehr way to increase margins than to decrease employee net compensation over time.

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.
