FedEx reviews

The money isn't worth the stress that the job of a courier brings. You tend to work long hours. If you're in a bigger hub/station you'll work the minimum to the required amount of hours. If you're in a smaller location look forward to get hawked down and work long hours. Seniority is a HUGE problem at FedEx Express. A lot of old timers there. If you're expecting to climb the ladder quickly, good luck. FedEx doesn't really let their younger employees climb the system, its more of "patience is a virtue" mentality. Full-time is very hard to get as well, if you're planning on getting full-time, good luck! But most the time when you get full-time jobs it's something that you won't like doing unless you think it fits you. Raises weren't always given, they created a new pay raise system, so they can show they "appreciate" their employees more. It's great and all but as soon as they give us raises they'll cut hours back, it's like the raises weren't even given. FedEx Express says they're about their employees, and that's a white lie. They care about more of what the internet, and customers think. Employees always comes last. That's what happens when the company is run by a bunch of old farts and instead of letting younger, and hard-working people try to qualify for higher up jobs.

The health insurance is horrible now. There is lots of favoritism even though management swears there is not. Best practices are close to impossible to follow because the workloads are constantly increasing with less time do it in. Been with the company 10 years and forget ever getting to top pay or having enough seniority to get close to a vacation day in the summer off. We get horrible bonuses and no holiday parties. No matter how hard you work and how loyal you are the customers it is never enough. The company used to be about customer service but these days its about saving money for the company and under paying employees that actually work hard. As far as hurting yourself on the job forget it. You only have 90 days to keep your position which isn't long to fully recover from any surgery without injuring yourself again down the road. And workmans comp has also been getting cheaper as far as giving you the quality care that one is needed.
