Pros

Expeditors certainly provides great benefits to their employees as well as competitive compensation. The culture at Expeditors, while not for everyone, is well-defined and professional with an emphasis on accountability and customer service. This company truly does go out of its way to make its customers happy and prospective employees that can agree with that approach will do well here. The senior management also seems to have a clear direction of where they want the business to go as well as a strategy for growth. The stability and growth potential of this company is as good as ever.

Cons

Considering this is a company that prides itself on customer service it can sometimes be frustrating as an employee when expectations aren't always clear and even when understood and exceeded don't necessarily translate into career advancement. It's also a bit odd that for a Fortune 500 company we still don't have an HR department. Instead we have an "Employee Relations" department that is on an inaccessible floor at CHQ and is very difficult to get any help from.

Facilities, Dress Code (the tie), Horrible Vacation Policies, Out Dated, Focus on process instead of results, Blind sense of loyalty to long term employees when some just need to be let go or put into more appropriate roles (a crew of Cobol developers making decisions on Java architecture... c'mon!)

Pros

Free health insurance is hard to beat, especially in this day and age. The work day absolutely flies by because you have so much work to do under tight deadlines and schedules.

Cons

You will not receive much training despite a company culture that prides itself on exactly that. You will be expected to master tasks and responsibilities in a very short time with little or no support. The work volume alone will be enough to immediately make you reconsider why you took the job. To be fair, working in-house for the customer makes for a stressful and hectic work environment. Other Expeditors employees who come in to assist always comment on how the Expeditors way is not present when on location at the client's site of business.
