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.
