Pros

it's a job you are already all dressed up for after hours drinks

Cons

Talk to any of the managers and try to understand what makes Expeditors stand above its competitors - oh wait you can't. Revenues have been poor for years and the only thing propping up the company is the interest rate environment, share buybacks and incestuous culture. Management is paranoid every time an article comes out saying the same thing and affecting its stock price and actively asks people to respond to it - and it's easy to get people to do things because half the team is related or married to the other half. Read some of those comments on these articles online and you can really see how desperate the company is and how underachieving people are. This company has been circling the drain for ages and people with more than 10 years left in their careers and not related to one of the VPs are leaving. You can see in some of the other comments how the company impacts the little guy at the bottom - low pay, no increases, no OT, bad hours - all while having to pretend that you are richer than you really are at work.

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.
