Pros

I’ve been with Expeditors for 15+ years. I was so proud of how the company handled Covid to start. Sending employees to work predominantly from home was a huge leap. I felt like the company valued me and my safety with how quickly we were pushed out of the office. I would have never imagined that it would even have been possible. People using home computers?? With token access?? Unheard of. But smart.

Cons

Once the dust was off of WFH, and found out how much more productive I was, how much more connection I felt with my team, it was clear from the CHQ messaging that this was a “temporary” move. Every communication reminded us. Now CHQ is coming back, and branches are starting their plans to be 100% back in the office, but don’t worry folks! Even though you have proved yourself capable, we are stuck in 1997 and we will throw you 26 WFH days, but don’t worry, you won’t have to wear a tie!

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.
