Pros

FedEx as a whole is a good company. Great benefits and recently has been doing great with revenue.

Cons

The Sourcing and Procurement org has serious leadership issues. Morale is low and has been consistently so over the years as reported on the annual survey that team members complete. Leadership micromanages everyone's work which leads to people not feeling like their leaders trust them to do a good job and nothing is ever good enough. They will also grill, berate and demoralize team members on the weekly update calls with stakeholders during the meeting! I've never seen anything like it in all my career. This has contributed to a very high turnover rate in the last few years. They also keep piling work on to the team members that are still here. Not only will you work on your project but you will take over those that quit as well. And the expectation to complete these projects are the same no matter if you have to work all day and into the night. They don't care. If you want to work at FedEx, look for roles in other organizations in the company.

Pros

Great teams and communication, overall. Lots of overtime opportunities. Encouraged for weekend shifts. Chances to grow or move after about 6 months of consistent work.

Cons

Not really any for part time work.

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.
