Micro-management with no work-life balance.

Operations supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are top and they focus a lot of energy toward education of employees at all levels. The company sounds great on a resume. Hourly employees working on the dock have big opportunities to become a driver or move into management positions through driver apprentice program or leadership apprentice program.

Cons

Working a 10 hour day is a short day. 12 Hour days are the norm. Working most likely on night shifts that put you on an opposite schedule as everyone else leaves no time for a normal life outside of work. You will be micro-managed and no matter how well a job you do you will get nasty emails from upper management on things you should have done better. The emails will be about the same content, but from multiple managers.

A little like the mafia

Operations supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

FedEx is great because you make a good salary, receive great benefits, and have an opportunity at great career growth. Once you're in, and are willing to move, you can easily reach manager level within a few years.

Cons

In order to move up fast, you have to be willing to work horrible hours and move a lot. If you wish to stay where you are, expect to stay in the same position forever (unless you live in a large city and maybe you'll get lucky). It is also very hard to get out of FedEx Freight. Being a supervisor makes you good at being a supervisor but does little in regards to teaching you the business of trucking/logistics.

Very good place to work.

Business Outlook

Pros

The opportunities at FedEx Freight are good and once in place you have additional opportunities to work at other FedEx Operating Companies.

Cons

The company is such that people tend to stay in place for extended perios which limits upward mobility to some degree. Additionally FedEx Freight has experienced extensive change over the last couple of years relative to company mergers and effeciency moves. These changes, including staffing reductions, have been unsetteling to a large number of employees.
