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

Project manager

Business Outlook

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.
