DHL is possibly the worst place to work in the entire world - Courier DHL Express Employee Review

DHL Express is currently "downsizing" as it struggles to right a sinking ship in a recessionary economy. Upper management has continually mismanaged the company to the point that it is losing $5 million dollars a day (that's over a billion dollars a year), even though their upfront costs were probably half that of its competitors, FedEx and UPS, and it had a diverse network and client base. It has continuously ignored whatever problems are actually occurring at the station level, has bungled numerous initiatives to cut costs and improve workplace efficiencies, has gone through a string of incompetent CEO's, Presidents, and VP's (who in turn were promoted into the upper reaches of the parent company, DPWN after failing to actually reach their "break even" target) and as a result there is a high degree of dissatisfaction by the dwindling customers we still have and low morale among the workers on the frontlines who run DHL's service model (delivering packages). DHL USA is simply going out of business, and supposedly "retooling" to service international products exclusively even as international trade is slowing down and jetfuel costs are skyrocketing through the roof.
