Pros

- paid training - lots of vacation time - 5 sick days and 4 single days off the first year (and every year thereafter) - 2 weeks vacation after 1 year/3 after 5/4 after 10/5 after 20 - good health insurance - tuition assistance (about $2,500/yr)

Cons

- extremely unstable hours (They will work you all sorts of different shifts in the same week!) - company constantly cutting benefits every year - advancement takes forever (I drove tractor trailers for them. At most carriers, you reach the top of scale in 1-3 years. At FedEx Express, reaching the top of scale takes 15-20 years!" - Oh yeah and their volume is WAY down right now. Hours are being cut and it's likely that their no-layoff policy may go out the window.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
