Pros

Big company with a lot of growth opportunities if that's what you want in a career. They promote from within but try not to hire a lot as they want to be as lean as possible so you might be doing multiple jobs at a lower salary than one person they hire just to do thst job. Fair compensation depending on your roll.

Cons

Starting salary for new hires is much lower than the average for other Freight Forwarders in Charlotte. They also have a hard time inceasing salaries for employees if well deserved and earned. Open door policy, which is a big deal for the company is a joke. Management has office doors closed and makes employees feel they cannot come talk to them about ideas or issues they are having. When you do meet with management they will entertain and listen but do not follow through with promises. After cyber attack, company instead of paying for the cost of recovery with revenue or even as an expense to the branches they decided based off head count of employees, for the next 3 months take a % of each districts bonus pool to pay for it. That means the monthly performance bonuses that was rightfully earned by employees was either a lot lower than it should have been or some employees did not get their bonus at all those 3 month. Basically it took food from mine and every Expeditors families table while our C level folks in Seattle where still making Millions in salaries. System restrictions in place after cyber attack are ridiculous. Too many passwords or Auth codes and you can tell the company is scared of another possible attack. When I was at Expeditors I asked many times to go into management tranee program and other places and was ultimately placed where management needed my skill set so again, does not listen to employees. They allow you 26 wfh days a year which must be submitted and pre-approved 2 weeks before you plan on working from home.

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.
