What is working from home like at Expeditors?

Some very nice people, great benefits and employee stock program.

Limited opportunities for advancement which require lenghty internal interview process, recent upper management changes, etc. Lacking work/life balance with limited WFH days and overtime in most roles

Good benefits Work is not too hard There is definitely room for improvement for the Charleston office such as increasing their salaries for workers in a growing city.

The benefits don’t make up for the unlivable wage in Charleston unless you work a 2nd job on the weekend. The work will be repetitive and the low salary can make you feel like you need to look for a job else where. Not a lot of development within the teams. Have to let leadership know if you can work from home, which can be a little restrictive instead of giving you a set schedule for day that you can work from home.

Job safety, Individual Respect, Good Work life balance.

Limited work from home, Delayed decision making from management

The transportation Industry can be very interesting. I do get satisfaction from seeing my efforts directly translated into shipments getting cleared and delivered. The company appears to be held in good regard throughout the industry. No forced overtime, and paid hourly so anything over 40 hours a week has an increased rate. We can work from home 26 days a year. Having the option is great, but why 26 days? That number seems so arbitrary, why not one day a week.

Low pay. The career growth opportunities within the department do not appear to be worth it. Why take on all the added stress and hours to be a supervisor or manager to be taken off of hourly pay and given a salary that does not justify the input.

Expeditors offers a great culture, good pay, great benefits. They offer a very competitive paid time off plan, 401k match, and stock options for all employees.

Sometimes a little "old-fashioned". Very limited work from home options. Business and overtime are very market driven.

Benefits are decent. Nothing more.

Favoritism - race bias gender bias, Age Discrimination - DM wanted older candidates because of “Maturity”. Double standards across the department, request work from home for medical and got the third degree over it. One employee moved away and was given work from home privileges to accommodate her instead of letting her go. Micromanagers and two faced upper leadership. Everything is fine so long as you do as they ask when they ask if you dare say NO you are no longer a good employee and you now get ignored and disrespected because of it. Towards the end I said no for the first time and they asked me to cut my 1 month notice early and said it was for the best interest to both parties all because I wouldn’t log in over the weekend and deal with my manager going at my throat about a task not being completed on a Friday with a skeleton crew during the holidays and after upper management completed ignored my cries for support before hand. They take “pride” in caring for the employees however I never truly felt like they did take care of us. It’s a job at this point merely a stepping stone for up coming talent to grow knowledge and move to a better company that will value and grow them. Don’t go here expecting to stay and move up. Recognition for some are celebrated within the branch while others go unnoticed. My 5 year pin came to me closer to my 6 year mark. Whereas others got a shout out on the open floor. I was in leadership and always went above and beyond. Worked overtime, late evenings and weekends, always got online when they requested support for my team and the department. They thanked me by asking me to end my notice early and didn’t even care to give me a thank you or goodbye. Luckily my team appreciated my time and did their own thing for me. They’ve all expressed deep concerns on what’s to come now that I’ve left and don’t expect to stay much longer. I hope I can help them move to a better work environment. New job is Hybrid and a much bigger pay increase for an entry lever position. Whereas I was stuck at Expeditors with no growth and minimal pay. Ask for an increase that aligns with market pay and they mention it’s entirely too much, well this is what you’ll continue to get. Disgruntled employees that leave after a short period for much better pay and a better working environment.
