Pros

FedEx Office is a fast pace environment with many different areas to develop new skills. Customers come from all walks of life in the community and in our work we get to be a part of each of them.

Cons

Since FedEx acquired Kinko's they have been slowly killing everything that made this a GREAT place to work. The "Bonus" system has been decreased every couple of years to the point you now earn a few dollars a month. Staff is constantly being reduced while demand increases. Employees are held accountable to micromanaged minutiae that have no bearing on success or failure. FedEx has attempted to save money on machines that many experienced team members find substandard. They are inconsistent and break down constantly crippling many centers, and damaging our image as the leader in the industry. Many customers came to us years ago because we provided a higher quality product (paper, machines, service). With all of these areas declining expect to lose customers back to our competitors.

Pros

Have a Strong staff and great customers -for the most part. Don't see my boss but 1-2 month.

Cons

The corp fluff to accomplish something. Setting all these goals and targets then forget about 90% until it's time to do the yearly "anonymous" survey. Then you see which stores had how many surveys done. 🙄 Keep it short and sweet it would be more effective. Have outstanding customer service but don't do anything personal in your store to recognize your customers. Be different but don't show it 😂 Working for Amazon now with no more pay. It benefits the store not us in our paychecks. At times unrealistic expectations with a high volume store and a staff of 4-5.
