Pros

Excellent benefits at minimal cost (health/dental/vision/life insurance/LTD/STD/401k & company pension/airline discounts) 1st day of employment = 2 weeks vacation/4 personal days/5 sick days Pays employees for sick time not used at the end of fiscal year. Can transfer within the company anywhere nationwide

Cons

Part-time employees are treated like trash. Super high turnover. Vindictive/incompetent frontline and senior management Long hours and unorganized work assignments Highly politically charged work environment; upgrades and promotions are mostly based on relationships not work ethic or production. Only concerned with statistics not people, management can careless about what happens onroad until something happens to an employee that brings attention from the district. Unrealistic goals set by management so that raises for employees are null or minimal. Ultimately, do not accept a job at Fedex if you have expections of being promoted to another position or thinking about going onto management. This is a dead-end JOB not a career. If you are a college student I would suggest taking this job but do not stay, leave as soon as you gradute or can land something career-wise. Do not expect management to be understanding or fair. ALL THAT MATTERS AT FEDEX ARE STATISTICS AND REPORTS PERIOD. People, which includes employees and customers, are not a concern of FedEx, only MONEY.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
