Big name small salaries. The notion that DHL is a multinational and the fact that these companies offer all the big benefits and packages that thus to be envied.

Business Outlook

Pros

pay and benefits, travel, co-workers. The cadre of former Airborne employees managed to keep the company afloat. It should be remembered that prior to the merger, DHL was losing money, Airborne was making money.

Cons

Indecision by upper management, inability to develop a successful business plan and stick to it, much money wasted on half-baked initiatives and programs, poor labor climate, poor communications, management by intimidation and fear ("if you can't make your ( you name it), just leave your keys on the desk!"), propensity to hire ANYONE from UPS, regardless of their ability.
