Pros

It is a good way to pay the bills for a short season if you are working towards another plan.

Cons

The use of Fedex specific applications hinders your ability to do your job effectively and cuts off all opportunities to develop transferable skills. They apply the same work philosophies that work very well in the shipping industry to the printing industry but it is not working. Their emphasis on operating policies supersedes the individual's problem solving skills. They literally use cartoons to do their training. It is insulting and not helpful. They are overly concerned with irrelevant metrics that distract from the job at hand. The key to a long FedEx the not draw attention to yourself and always have a backup.

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
