Pros

The best thing you will ever experience with Expeditors is insurance.And only giving three stars for insurance only because salary is definitely not a factor in this.

Cons

Let’s see where do I begin finally can get a true and honest review. This place is stuck in the 80’s. The policies are so outdated and clueless on how HR really works. Trainers out the gate telling you their life story and indicating your hard earn degree doesn’t mean anything at this place. This place seek out HS students and make the believe this company is an end to all jobs and there is nothing better. People are in management positions that don’t belong that have ZERO experience on managing but because of clicks some how are able to secure positions. HR gets involved in operational work and dictates what your job titles should really but is absolutely clueless on how business truly operates. Craving out roles that make no sense to secure employees jobs but causing havoc by doing so. Performance reviews and salaries are a joke. Don’t expect to get pay raises for your over and beyond work it won’t be recognized as “good enough” to be considered exceeding expectations. Interim managers in place for months with no direction and no experience expected to lead teams that are already running. There is absolutely NO diversity in management at all so please do not come here looking for someone that looks like you in those roles. There is so much and I could go on and on. If you value having an opinion, want to be heard without adults taking everything personal and want to make you work meaningful to the business this IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU!!! Culture and work environment is toxic.

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.
