Pros

The hours might be nice for a student or someone looking for part time.

Cons

My dad and older brother worked for Fedex Express. They both loved it. Fedex ground is a different story. I worked for Fedex ground. No breaks unless you work more than 8 hours. I could work 7 1/2 hours and not get a break. It can be heavy work. Which I love physical work. I've worked in other warehouses. After just a few weeks of working there I was trained as a lead. Half the managers had very thick accents and my fellow employees did as well. Having different cultures in the workplace is awesome. It did make communication very difficult, especially when I was put in a lead position. I didn't get any extra pay for the extra work. It felt like the hardest working employees got the most work. Almost like a punishment for working hard. Then you would have the lazy people spending large amounts of time walking around or sitting in the bathroom at times for 30 minutes. No one seemed happy to be there.

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
