Pros

FedEx is an excellent brand name offering decent pay with fair benefits, paid time off, retirement, profit sharing. It is an excellent part time job while going to school and there are many advancement opportunities for those willing to move around.

Cons

Benefits have been greatly diluted over the years. The traditional retirement is gone, pay did not keep up with society, jumpseat priveleges were abandoned, pay for performance and other benefits were diluted. The people, service, profit cornerstone was abandoned for profit, profit, profit. Long term employees are greatly disillusioned by the company. Management does not support the workforce. No longer can you be assured of a job merely by being a conscientious hard worker.

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.
