Expeditors reviews

Expeditors is secure, transparent and approachable as an organisation. We're also very women friendly..... the growth of women within this industry is growing year over year.... within Expeditors, women management has been part of us almost since day 1... there is no glass ceiling here! The compensation programme within Expeditors has had a lot of criticism from not only the field within Expeditors but also from the external (financial analysts, recruitment agencies, etc.). The fact is, Expeditors pays a lower monthly/base salary to EVERY employee than most competitors. HOWEVER, the bonus programme is the driver. Unfortunately, people assume that management (in various forms whether at branch level or corporate level) walked into these positions and high salaries and bonuses - this is how it works everywhere else - so its difficult to not be judgmental about it. This doesn't happen, the individuals walk into their jobs 9 out of 10 times at the grass roots level. I walked in as a desk level air export agent and now I hold, after 14 years, a reputable position, have worked in 4 countries and have a salary and bonus structure Im happy with and always striving to increase month over month. This happened over time and between promotions and movements, the money comes along but only if the ambition to make it happen is there.... ambition is one thing... execution and making it happen is what brings the cash! I would never work for anyone else.... this is MY company. I love it and although there are things here and there that make us crazy.... Expeditors has taken care of me as long as I took care of them.... it is NEVER a one-sided relationship. Employees at the desk level and even struggling managers need to step outside of their box and understand, it happens but only with work and when the opportunity arises, you sure as hell better be ready for it.

There is a company-wide sense of pride and respect, and a desire to live up to our name in the industry. I've heard the motto "hire for attitude, train for skill" and I have found this to be very true. I started this job with a college degree and no transportation industry experience and I have become adept due to sufficient on the job training. I have also helped train others and seen many people become successful and proud of their work. Good training, unbeatable benefits, a positive work atmosphere where people take pride in their work. Also, great variety of work assignments, a global work atmosphere, and almost always seeing financial success each month!
