Pros

They paid us really well, gave us free cell phones and great bonuses. It was neat to work on projects with people all over the world.

Cons

They ended up laying off 80% of the Scottsdale IT Data Centre staff over a six month period when the company decided to pull out of the US Express (US to US location delivery) market, bowing out to UPS and Fedex. I can't imagine DHL Express Americas exists today in anywhere close to the presence they used to have.

Pros

DHL was a great place to work until the company restructured and laid off hundreds of employees both hourly and mgmt. They are now strictly an international shipping company.

Cons

Restructure was done with poor communication. Topline communication and public relations were good but internal customer communication was terrible.j

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.
