Expeditors Reviews

Cons

Very "corporate" environment which may be a con for some.

Cons

Nepotism; family seemed to get promoted faster
Base salary

Cons

Lower level salary not competitive, work-life balance is a challenge

Cons

Large gender pay gap, VERY FRUGAL, will not assist for education, very conservative organization (ties, formal dress attire daily without exception), certain departments are allowed Compressed Work Week - others are not offered that perk, below fair market pay, tons of meetings - hard to get work done, lack of communication, rarely fire employees -meaning you will run into the occasional employee sleeping on their desk.

Cons

This "open door policy" is corporate rhetoric that is definitely not practiced. You get treated like a naughty child when trying to utilize it.

Also non-customer facing jobs should have the opportunity to work from home. There's a reason several departments have high turnover, and many more complain about their misery but stay anyway.

Cons

*They will take all of your time if you let them
* You will spend plenty days not seeing the sun except at lunch break
* You will be overworked
* The game is politics and so you will have to be mindful of what you say and to whom
* As the RVP of the Atlanta branch so eloquently said " if you stay standout, someone can take you under their wing and pull you up into position and opportunity" at least that was her experience and what I found to be the norm
* Tons of favoritism and "walking preferred people up the promotional ladder"
* There is no HR department so there is no standard of acceptable/unacceptable treatment.
* Open-minded door policy is a sham - if you complain or express concerns you become "problematical"
* Professional dress requirement is just an opportunity for people to criticize and scrutinize one another

Cons

Not all benefits are the best

Cons

Management will run a smear campaign against an employee and have others treat them badly. You will get blackballed in a heartbeat if you have a complaint about what's going on in your department. The work is boring and there's a lot of it - this office is grossly understaffed. I wouldn't recommend anyone to work here because it's a dead end job if you're not one of management's pets. I'll be turning in my 2 weeks notice any day now and it will be one of the best things I've done in quite a while.

Cons

Some metrics driven by CHQ can be redundant. Had to start paying for health insurance (used to be free!)

Cons

Could be departmentalized at times.
