Pros

- Huge company, plenty of progression opportunities both domestically and internationally - Good benefits (high street discounts for almost every retailer you can think of, private GP access, childcare vouchers).

Cons

- Despite strong assessments in annual reviews its impossible to get inflation-equalling payrises. I'm told - and believe - that it's being blocked at the SVP level. - Very easy to become an anonymous cog in the big yellow machine. If you like to hide in the masses that's good but it's hard to really stand out.

I have a lot of good things to say about DHL. The company really cares about their talent. Benefits are good. The pay is good.

Only bad thing is the micromanaging of some supervisors.
