Pros

None Company is Folding and there is no place else to go.

Cons

Managements lack of leadership and stupidity in assignments.Senior management has no idea what takes place in the operation section of the company. All they know how to do is appoint another vice -president in charge of something. I have never heard of a company that has over 465 vice -presidents

Business Outlook

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.
