Pros

Expeditors offers training for every aspect of the job expected. The people you work with get you through the day. Someone is always helpful and knowledgeable if you are unsure of what is expected at any given time.

Cons

Management implements new initiatives and expects the results to be instantaneous. They also have made it to their positions without ever having done the actual work of the people who work under them. It is very clear that they do not understand the magnitude of work. They continuously pile on work without asking if it is too much to handle. If you need overtime, you have to give a play-by-play of what you've done and why you need overtime and are reluctant to let you have it. You also need to let them know half way through the day if you need overtime, otherwise don't bother asking.

Pros

Being my first job out of college, it helped me avoid many of the career pitfalls that I might have experienced later...because I went through them first at Expeditors.

Cons

From a clinical point of view, it's a pretty efficient model: Take smart, motivated young people. Fill them with promises of career advancement so that they'll work extremely hard and long hours (often illegally off the clock), pay them well below industry standard and then promote the very few based on favoritism...unconnected with their actual abilities. Truly the worst work experience of my life.

Pros

Challenging work if you're a nerd. MIS, computerized modeling, ops myt, and all that jazz

Cons

Fast paced work, boring government beureaucratic nonsense. Outdated systems( this is a 2 way street if you look at what the company values)
