DHL Reviews

Pros

Opportunities for advancement. Good pay and benefits package. Decent life to work balance. The day to day operations offered something new on a regular basis.

Cons

Lack of direction in regards to long term planning. Seemed to be more reactive than proactive. The company has resources, but they are not always utilized in the best way.

Advice to Senior Management

Poor fiscal sense at the senior level. Just because a company had the resources, doesn't mean they always used them as they should. Build infrastructure before you release a massive commercial campaign.
