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

Free insurance (but expect to pay high copayments so I guess thats a CON also). You start with two weeks vacation and accrue 4 hours of sick pay a month. The job is stable once you're hired on, unless you really mess up.

Cons

**Recently sales in many different branches went around asking employees to go on Glassdoor to leave GOOD reviews since the "real reviews" were making the company look bad. If you see a long list of hyped reviews, chances are, they're fake. Keep that in mind. ** -Micromanaged to the point of suffocation -You're expected to work OT and sacrifice any personal life you have at minimal pay to get the job done -Expect to move up only if you become part of the inner circle and are good at socializing -Expect to deal with a lot of recent college grads who still live with their parents and come in with the spoiled brown nosing attitude -Expect to be a temp for a very VERY long time before getting hired (if even) -Expect to the start at the lowest possible wage acceptable in an industry where people in other companies make at least an extra 10 k a year. **You're expected to learn very complicated things quickly and the training is always on the fence. Managers fail to understand that employees have a life outside of the work place. Branches are losing employees , especially at ORD. There is a reason for that.

Pros

Great people to work with, good benefits, decent pay.

Cons

The pandemic has highlighted just how woefully out of date Expeditors is as a company. The execs still enforce a strict dress code, but think they’re being flexible by allowing men not to wear ties. They’ve also failed to listen to their employees during this time, forcing a return to the office and a pathetic WFH “benefit” despite the fact that revenue and productivity soared due to remote work. The message from the top down is clear: this company doesn’t care about you, and they will risk your health and safety in a heartbeat without listening to your concerns.
