Pros

Started with ~17% market share at merger with Airborne. Decent benefits. Decent Promotion opportunities. Airborne brought excellent National Accounts like IBM, Dupont, Xerox, Glaxo, and Technicolor.

Cons

DHL european management flocked to the US operation, replaced many excellent managers with their own people, and refused to listen to Airborne managers/VPs who knew how the domestic US operation ran. Remember that DHLs domestic US operation was less than 10% of what Airborne's was at time of merger. DHL arrogance killed the domestic US operation.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
