Pros

none now, was much better when it was airborne, if they would have made moves thinking them thru without rushing this company would have made a name fore itself.

Cons

upper management is very disorganized, makes discissions without thinking out the ratifications.

Pros

They are starving for great employees to help them out of their current bind. Through Germany, the company has been supported financially, so they have been very fair to salaries and OK with benefits. My boss realized there was more to life than work, so I was able to take time off as necessary. The senior managment IS trying to communicate to their employees, but recently has been more focused on RIF and restructuring than listening/communicating.

Cons

Within the last year, the company has been extremely unprofitable and has been restructuring as best as they can. Career opportunities are horrible unless you jump to a different internal DHL company. Employee morale is low as most people are wondering when they will be RIF'd as well.

Pros

Some of my co-workers are the best I've worked with and deserving of respect. DHL also honors the work / life balance overall. It is enjoyable working for a global company and being able to interact with persons from many different cultures.

Cons

Senior management is grossly incompetent. Upper management seems to be prone to believing and buying into high level assessments (BS) without delving into any sort of detail. The morale is extraordinarily low and can be a drain to live in day after day. There is little direction or knowledge of the company strategy so everyone goes around trying to do the best they can but often inadvertently run up against another.
