DHL Express reviews

Working there was stressful. They merged employees from different companies(Airborne, Danzas, DHL) but different company cultures didn't mesh well. The end result was more like a quilt than a melting pot. Also I was worried the whold time just how long would I have a job. Looking at their business model, I just couldn't see how they would ever become profitable in the US Market. Unfortunately in time it turned out my instincts were right. I count myself as one of the lucky ones who left before the job market soured.

The management in the United States has to be seperated into the proper areas. There was U.S. Express, Global Business Servies, Global Forwarding and Logistics. Global Business Servies were run locally but managed out of Europe and the U.S. Management lacked communication skills but the European Management is a very efficient team. The U.S. Management became caught up in what most large American Corporations do which was to cover their tracks instead of fostering creativity and out of the box thinking. When Management is so overpaid as they are, some focus gets lost on making sure the core competencies remain intact. The Directors and V.P's are incompetent because America fosters bad management. This is a national issue not a DHL one.
