Expeditors reviews

Soul crushing culture. Feels like the founders read a business textbook once in the early 80s, copied the organizational flow chart and said 'we're good'. Can only have 2 personal items at your desk. As almost every con review says - Low pay. Promise incentives, bonuses and pay raises and don't deliver. (Especially during hiring process). Favoritism, nepotism and office politics run rampant. Outdated tech, systems and strategies. Tons of dead weight hanging on in the EDI/tech/system development side. Dress code makes no sense for 90% of positions. (In CHQ, Devs, analysts and their managers stare at screens and lync all day. There is no customer facing experience, yet you'll be sent home if you're not in a suit). I see alot of smart and educated young people come in with tons of energy, enthusiasm, and drive only to be boxed in, crushed and broken within about 3 or 4 months. Middle managment is just a collection of people that didn't quit. Not close to the best, brightest or most able. They care more about how you look, and what you say than the product you turn out, how hard you work or how happy customers/sales/clients are. The vibe, lighting, desks, etc  all feel like you're working in some warehouse in Cleveland and not in downtown Seattle. When the CEO of a fortune 500 company doesn't have a college degree, I think that should be a red flag. Some amazing people in upper management, but most are just tools in suits.

-No career growth -No mentoring or skill building -Incompetent managers are in charge of delegating work. -The majority of talented people leave within 3 years- management will just say "It's not for everybody!" - it apparently isn't for about 30% of the QA staff, the turnover rate is outrageous, yet the problem is always squarely pegged as a "bad hire".
