Pros

- Acquire a lot if experience - You really get to give an excellent customer service - Great culture and values - Possibility to change branches to other city - Work environment is ok.

Cons

- A lot of favoritism, you need to be liked in order to have the opportunity to build a career. - Difficulties to get a salary raise although all the hard work - No so much flexibility on work hours - Don't recognize or value the hard work all the people do all the time. They always assume that's your job, to work always extra time no matter what.

Pros

No experience required to get hired to the company. Most people come in based on referrals. They look for attitude and not actual skills. Not as fast paced as stated. Everything is trainable. Education requirements low - some community college classes is sufficient as long as you're a good talker and know someone in the company already. Low competition in terms of work pace.

Cons

Promotions are rare and happens only when you've put in your time. Salary raises are rare and minimal, 1-3k/year depending on how long you've been there. High the first year but drops down drastically afterwards because at that point, they think you're already committed to the company. Many people quit after year 2 so there's a deficient of mid-level employees. Low salary to start off. No bonuses, low 401k matching. Management watches the clock on your forced 1-hour lunch break and also your in/out time even though you're a salaried employee on paper. Overtime expected but no compensation.

Pros

-Some people are nice -Their softwares are up to date -A good place to start off for ~1 years of experience into the field of logistics (would not recommend wasting time to stay longer)

Cons

-Terrible trainings with people who do not care about what they are teaching but do it just to get in their yearly 52 hours requirement -Documentation all over the place -NO SALARY INCREASE with promotions. Moving from Level I to Level II means nothing financially. If you stay around for 2 years you'd be guaranteed a 'promotion' -Salary increase is at max ~3k/year in the beginning. Less so as you work there longer. The difference between a good and a bad analyst is ~3-5k. Worthless to work hard. Just do average work and you get the same salary increase. -Low moral -No team building -Expects analysts to be flexible with hours for international clients but salary not justified -Salaried pay but management watches the clock on in/out time. You get a talkin' to even if late by 10 minutes. Can never come in late but they expect you to put in extra hours often -Vacation is 10 days for year 1-2, 15 days for year 3-10. That's right, from year 3 to year 10, you only get 15 days of vacation. Paid time off does not exist even for family emergencies/injuries -Developers should avoid this company - You get paid in the 40k range starting off. That's pretty low for a development position in Seattle -People in supervisor positions that are not capable. They've got supervisors who lack basic social interaction skills and can't communicate to their employees. -No flextime
