Pros

- Worked with some very nice and kind individuals, although i'd say about 75% of them voiced privately of disliking the company and/or their job - There were a select few that taught me valuable business knowledge - The really good "eggs" were spectacular at their jobs, those few rarely stuck around the company though due to the poor pay and high pressure

Cons

- Horrible people management tactics, designed to hold your career and income back by deferring and delaying - All execs have been chugging the Kool Aide so long they're basically robots being suffocated by their ties repeating the same nonsense about Expeditors culture - Very below market pay - You're basically babysat on when you show up to work and when you leave and you're required to take a 1 hour lunch break everyday - CEO all the way down have zero interest in changing the culture, updating policies, or negotiating anything - The tie obviously is just way outdated, no work from home allowed and won't be considered again for a long time (Shot down completely in 2018 I heard) - slim to no chance of formal training or career growth/knowledge development opportunities - Long tenured employees have an attitude that they can't get fired so they produce the bare minimum work and no one holds them accountable. These individuals are also likely to be entitled, arrogant, and mean just because they can - Terrible management culture continued.....they constantly promoted "technical" people into management roles which created a sub-culture of neglect and unhappiness (They did seem to start making changes to this though from what i saw, aka demoting terrible managers) ***Run away from this company, your career will go to here to die

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.
