Expeditors reviews

Hourly wages are probably a little low - they're not paltry but they're not exactly generous, either. If you think about what you're getting in benefits, bonuses, and opportunities for investment in the company, it makes it all look a lot better in the big picture. Depending on the size of the branch and the seniority of those around him or her, it's my experience that an agent has to work pretty hard and show some serious skills and results to move up to a higher position. This could all change as more and more qualified leaders are being hired every day, and less people to just fill seats and crank out paperwork. As others have mentioned, hours can get long and the expectation in many departments is that you cannot actually leave work until everything is finished, so your dedication of hours will vary from week to week.

There isn't much accountability from management (there is no HR department). Compensation is a little low because of this, and your only avenue for raising issues goes straight through your immediate supervisor. Eek. Management has a TON of power here because of that. You don't have a way to air your complaints or voice concerns. If your supervisor doesn't like you, you are effectively screwed. They run the risk of conflicts-of-interest because there is no accountability among management... it's all about "who you know" in all jobs, but especially this one, because the team leads/supervisors have ALL the say in who they hire, who gets what raises, and what goes on. It's worked thus far, but with such a growing company it doesn't seem sustainable.
