Pros
Entry-level experience that familiarizes you with the basics of the transportation industry and third-party logistics in general. Coworkers from my experience were also mostly young recent college grads that were fun to work with on less stressful days. Benefits package and stock options are enticing, and you receive 4 weeks paid vacation depending on when you start (getting this time approved is the tricky part). There's always something to do, so days tended to fly by (if you're into that, like me).
Cons
This is all from my personal experience, so please take with a grain of salt. Expeditors is a large company and I'm sure the experience varies from location to location. Pay equated to about $16 an hour. I understand my entry level position and the need to grow upwards, but for a company of this size/scale, and for the work expected of you, the trade-off is not worth it in my opinion. Power-tripping upper management maintain a veil of interest in you, when in reality are only concerned with improving efficiency metrics spit out at weekly department meetings. Shirt and tie. Every. Single. Day. That's an old school mentality indicative of a company that is stuck in the past. Your work space isn't even cube farm, it's the equivalent of a late 90's call center. Micromanagement by lower level managers was frustrating and distracting. Overconfident "executives" will test out their recently learned management tactics on you with a condescending air of superiority. You will be expected to work Saturdays or Sundays. Your weekly schedule may actually revolve around it.
