Pros

Very good job security; it's nearly impossible to get fired due to poor performance. Excellent place for out-of-college students to learn and practice a skill.

Cons

FedEx doesn't practice CI/CD at a production-level. They are too scared of disrupting the business and as a result have too much red tape involved in pushing code to a production environment. They want their employees to move quickly, but restrictions on getting your code to production makes this impossible. You'd be lucky to have a deployment every 2 weeks. Average programmer is decent, the better employees tend to leave. 2 weeks vacation for Services employees. Management gives praise, never a raise.

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.
