Pros

Drivers are professional and take pride in their work, dock workers are mostly competent and some are very knowledgeable. Terminal manager is a strong and dedicated leader.

Cons

Low pay. Maddeningly low level of professionalism and effort amongst office staff. Too many corners cut regarding safety. Insufficient facilities. Remarkably understaffed. Excessively complex computer systems. Excessive and redundant reporting on a daily basis. You will be doing a significant amount of manual labor. If you want to move up in the company, it will absolutely involve relocation (could be a "pro" for some). Overall too much bad and not enough good.

It's just a job, not a career

Pros

average pay for the industry good benefits FedEx appears to be committed to staying in the LTL industry, overall good job security

Cons

LOTS of politics, if you're "in" with the right people you have nothing to worry about, if you're not, management can make coming to work miserable. Employees (hourly and low level managers) are treated as easily replaceable pieces of equipment. It is NOT a team effort, each group is pitted against the others with inconsistent goals (dock vs. drivers vs. dispatch vs. ...) The goal of management is NOT to service the customers, it is to get a good "score" on internal audits. Managers advance by undercutting those around them.
