Pros

DHL was a great place to work until the company restructured and laid off hundreds of employees both hourly and mgmt. They are now strictly an international shipping company.

Cons

Restructure was done with poor communication. Topline communication and public relations were good but internal customer communication was terrible.j

Pros

Still a strong brand name on your CV In the past: great learning opportunities and professional challenges In the past: good career development In the past: innovation, ambition, forward-looking Pride: colleagues are still proud and willing to help & support each other, also in difficult times Historically well advanced in terms of process definition and strategic review

Cons

Current senior management: capabilities and style How can anyone let an accountant run a company this size, especially in the service industry? Lack of fairness and respect, especially with regards to employees Lack of clarity and honest communication Favouritsm & nepotism Politics, back-stabbing, bureaucracy Micro management: does a CEO really need to approve the replacement of a broken phone? Lack of innovation and investments in tools, people, ideas and service quality Lack of cross country and cross functional collaboration and alignment Unreasonable demands and expectations without providing bigger picture or long term view Senior management disconnected from real life and real customers Questionable fit with Deutsche Post "german" mentality and understanding of the International Express market

Pros

My department was a good place to work, and I had a good boss. Most of the staff was friendly and the facilities were good.

Cons

Some of the other departments seemed to have a good ole boy mentality. There did not seem to be alot of opportunity for advancement. Employee flight benefits could have been improved.
