Business Outlook

Pros

I loved working at DHL, fantastic team environment and opportunity for growth and advancement. I have huge respect for the Branch Manager, Ground Operations Manager, VP of Operations, my coworkers, and dedicated couriers. The leadership at DHL model the values of the company and are the kind of people that get down in the trenches to work with employees, and truly care for each team member.

Cons

I believe both DHL and DHL couriers would be much more powerfully connected if couriers were employees rather than contractors.
