Pros

Great place to start a career right out of school. Work/Life balance is fantastic. The role of a systems analyst can be really low stress. Flexible schedule (9/80s or 4/10s) after 60 days. If you're a good analyst, with a good supervisor, and show you're capable, compensation can be very competitive. Analysts are given a mentor to assist them with learning the position and help get them up to speed. Can have lots of autonomy in both daily work and schedule. Some teams have a great knowledge-base and very collaborative.

Cons

Expeditors is extremely inconsistent among teams. Some teams are amazing and others will make you want to quit. In a 3 year span I had 4 different supervisors, one of which made me want to quit. Compensation to start is nothing special for an Analyst position in Seattle, but does ramp up in a few years. If you don't have a good supervisor/manager that believes in your skills, you will most likely find very little career direction. Some teams hoard knowledge and there is a huge skill gap between associate analysts and level II and III. Some teams have very little trust of new employees and only give them a few chances to succeed before giving up. There is not a lot of opportunities for lateral moves. Once you have a specific role, hiring managers are very reluctant to hire from within. There is a stigma that when you want to experience a new role/change of pace that 'you're only looking at 'new position' because you're trying to get out of 'current position'. This is extremely frustrating and will drive people away.
