Pros

Nice people to work with; very dense European road network, innovative in Key Account Management

Cons

Air and Ocean network is not in TOP 3 globally. The regional and national directors have too much power. HQ is relatively week in steering a global company. Unfortunately it is too much dependent on the mother company Deutsche Bahn and its political involvement.
