      Just when it seems that it can not get worse...they have yet to hit bottom.

      Pros

      Dedicated, long-term employees who still come to work every day and do their best, even without sound direction or support from above. The benefits have been fair, as are the severance packages.

      Cons

      Constant changes in direction. Penny-wise, pound-foolish financial decisions. Bonus driven Sr. Managers. Incomprehensible and ever-changing IT strategy. The dysfunction starts at the Corporate level in Bonn, with one poorly conceived and implemented program after another introduced almost end to end since the purchase of DHL and Airborne by DPWN, with few signs of learning from mistakes of the past.

      Pros

      There is nothing good to say.

      Cons

      Senior Management doesn't have a clue. They only want "yes" people to tell them everything is great. If you say there are ways to improve things, you are not a team player because you think there is something wrong.

      Sr. Management lacks confidence and competence.

      Pros

      It's in a turn around situation. Therefore if one is interested in the risks asociated with a financially distressed company, there are a lot of opportunities to contribute. If the company can make a turn around in the US, the parent company, DPWN based in Bonn, Germany will provide a vast global network for a thriving business in the future.

      Cons

      People and functions tend to work in silos. Collaboration is difficult to achieve. DHL grew through acquisition and the integration of very diverse cultures has been very difficult to achieve. Additionally, there has been historical tension with the organized workforce. The new leadership of the company is somewhat mercurial. There actions are dificult to understand and accept at times.
