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

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
