Company losing direction in a mature market and facing focused competition
Pros
Not a terribly IQ required to figure out how to be there waiting when senior management arrives at the obvious conclusion on direction. Right place, right time means you can get large bar bills picked up by others. Good place to build early logistics experience for use elsewhere.
Cons
Company tends to talk thru it's hat on advancement and direction. Career paths or development simply do not exist. In a tough market with very focused competition with clear strategies DHL attempts to be all things to all people. That results in a bloated structure at all levels and multiple leadership points pulling in different directions. The follow on is that the company knows no otehr way to increase margins than to decrease employee net compensation over time.
