It depends, but quite a lot. There are some ups and downs as in everyday life.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend DHL to a friend?
Yes
Why?

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to DHL?
Network, take any opportunity that comes your way too, try to build relationships with others.
