Pros

The benefits are second to none. They pay 100% of your health insurance, which is a rare find. You get two weeks paid vacation, a 401K plan with a Fortune 500 company, and Expeditors does NOT do layoffs. You have job security here. Strong culture and and professionalism. I would recommend this company to someone WITHOUT a college degree.

Cons

They will pay people the LEAST amount of money that each individual is willing to accept. The company is based upon very strong moral character they pride themselves on doing what is right. HOWEVER, at the branch level, this could not be further from the truth. The level of politics, corruption, hypocrisy, and dishonesty is incredibly disheartening. Upper management is able to get away with this, because they have enough really good people who do good work, and keep their heads down and keep working. Some weeks they expect you to work 60+ hours, and some weeks they expect you to work not one minute over 40 hours. Whatever benefits them the most that week.

Pros

Hours are consistent, professional work environment.

Cons

Poor management (police state and accusatory point of view), too many pointless meetings (flavor of the week approach), zero flexibility in type of work (day-to-day tasks become tedious quite quickly), few growth opportunities, success is solely dependent on how much your supervisor likes you as a person and how well you submit to and prompt the Department’s peculiarities; success is not based on quality of work.

Pros

-Respectable salary and benefits for a recent college graduate -They have a technical track and a management track -Great people to work with and in downtown Seattle location -They are recognized as the best in the industry

Cons

Everyone is paid below market. Many of the older employees have experienced layoffs before and are happy with the stability, but those in their 20's will be out the door with a better offer.
