DHL is a bad company.

Pros

It would be better than no job at all.

Cons

After working for the company for 21 years they released all the original employees and contracted out all their services to the lowest bidder. Compared to UPS and FEDEX, DHL projects an image of a comparable service but in reality the product provided is inferior to the competition. If you are looking for the lowest cost and lowest quality product then DHL is the company for you.
