Expeditors - not a place to look for in career growth or for a decent salary
Pros
-Company has an "open door" policy where you can meet your supervisor, manager, or district manager at anytime w/o "repercussions." -Very nice health care plan
Cons
-If you're not working in corporate, you generally start at $30,000 as a customer representative. In corporate, subtantially higher closer to $40,000 or more -Paid by the hour, not salary unless you're in corporate -Pay raise per year is $1.50 -Starts with 2 weeks vacation time, does not roll over. You get 2 weeks of vacation after 5+ years. -The paycheck does not reflect closely match the amount of work you do -Company is not doing well (check their historical stock price) and will fire employees instead of laying off to avoid bad pr and severance packages -Although the company has an "open door" policy (see Pros), the mindset of "big boss, small employee" mentality still remains -Slow to innovate -Has a heavy political atmosphere in upper management - Upper management does not have much transparency toward employees -Training is a joke, you do required 52 hr workbook training which trains you on a theoretical processes in the logistics industry but in reality it doesn't help at all. People rush through it as fast as possible to meet their requirement -Expeditors claim to emphasize on employee personal growth but there aren't any tangible, specific measures -Average turnover for the non-managerial employee at Expeditors is 3 years -No HR department, is quite terrible at scheduling interviews
