Pros

Getting in good socially with Sr. IT Management will help advance your career. Outstanding technical knowledge is not required as long as you know who to look down upon. If you can master the game; you're in.

Cons

Pay is not commensurate with level of knowledge or experience. Technology is outdated. Cannot stay cutting edge when working with the technologies used by Expeditors.

Pros

Stable and no history of layoffs. Clean and well kept offices. Benefits are good (medical, dental...) Initial openness of Senior Management set a good tone early on and helped explain the company.

Cons

No HR - for a company of over 10,000 this is a major issue, if you have an issue with management there are very few avenues available to file any sort of grievance or seek to improve the overall working environment. Training is lacking and extremely ad hoc. The seeming opaque and arbitrary nature of upper management, low pay with little chance of meaningful increase - though work load and responsibilities will increase at a good clip that far outpaces ones pay scale. The culture is full of well meaning slogans though they become simply platitudes that are bandied about.

Pros

Stable company to work for. No history of lay-offs or corporate mergers. Battle for a higher wage before accepting a position though, as you are more than likely not going to get anything higher than what you start with for a very long time.

Cons

No Human Resources Department for over 10,000 + employees. Lack of HR department makes is hard for someone to fight for you if you have a problem with your supervisor or management. The CIO/CFO/CEO all say to go directly to them because they have an 'open' door policy. This is not true. Who really is going to approach the Chief Executive of their company to complain about their management and not fear some horrible outcome? The CIO stated that they did not have an HR department when they started back in the 80's, when there was less than 20 people, so why should they have one now? Umm...maybe because we have over 10k+ people working for the company in over 200 offices world wide?!?! That's just my thought. We've lost a lot of really great employees due to this. Also, no HR means that managers are very late with annual reviews, or any review for that matter. Good luck getting any kind of raise, or any sort of recognition. It "IS" to much to ask for a 'good job' comment from any form of manager at this company.
