Pros

Between 2005 and 2013 I worked at two different branches in the US. I can honestly say that without the time I spent with this company, I would not be where I am today. I came into the industry with no knowledge, and left Expeditors with a very good grasp on the logistics industry. If not for that opportunity, I would not have advance in my logistics career elsewhere. EI experience looks great on a resume if staying in the industry

Cons

I have witnessed EXTREMELY poor management skills, that were conveyed under the guise of "mentorship". I worked in a very hostile and degrading work environment for almost 3 three years before I finally left the company. Employees are paid the absolute minimum for their work, unless they belong to the good 'ol boys club. "No lay-offs" means that if they want you out, they will force you to quit. No work/life balance for operations staff. Nepotism is rampant No HR department to field employee concerns/complaints

Pros

Stability and job security, formerly. Compressed work weeks and work-life balance, formerly. A 47-year no-layoff policy tested in two recessions and a pandemic. Formerly. Now? Well, all of those are gone, so it's hard to really cite anything other than that there's health care and the paychecks don't bounce.

Cons

The same stuff that's always been there, for one. Strict dress code. Dated systems they're trying to run away from as fast as humanly possible. Strict in-office culture with limited WFH. Little to no upward mobility; most senior management has been there for 20+ years and when someone does get promoted, the remaining jobs often seem to magically go to their buddies without getting bid. A complete inability to manage and coordinate anything effectively amongst multiple teams, which apparently is going to be somehow solved by laying off almost all the project/program managers. Oh, and on top of all that? Now, the new regime will lay you off, but first they'll gaslight you and claim the no-layoff policy never existed. Then they'll claim the team managers (who they conveniently also laid off) did the rankings that determined who got cut. Then they'll put a bunch of the survivors into a "bootcamp" and then make them interview to keep their jobs.
