Pros

Will hire ANYONE, whether or not they are capable of doing the basics of the job. Nearly impossible to get fired for poor performance or not working at all. So if you lack work ethic you can make bank.

Cons

Promotes management based on "likeability" rather than qualifications, competence, or good work ethic. Treats the most capable and competent managers poorly if they aren't social butterflies but will treat incompetent and lazy managers like kings if they are outgoing suck-ups. I have seen it happen for years and it makes me sick. For admin, some of the most demanding positions in the buildings, with the most responsibility, training, and knowledge, we get paid less than package handlers... who can get pulled in off the street, without any training, and load a trailer, I was a package handler before, I know.

Pros

Great experience for short term, really helps you understand the value of hard work and how to work with varies type of people. Management depending on managers will help you to move up in rankings as well. Overall a 3.5 out of 5

Cons

This company values are dropped very low, does not value workers, or give full appreciation to their employees. During my 3 going on 4 years the treatment I received at FedEx gave me a rude awakening on how management and the company itself do not respect or understand the importance on how to treat and keep great employees. If it wasn’t for the fact I needed a job to understand I leave for college and could work for me I would have left the company. After my 2nd year I realized I was not worthy and I was just another worker getting freight pushed out the door. Overall a 2.5 out of 5 would not recommend only for temporary term not long term

Pros

-If you are hired by a decent contractor and stick around for a while, you can get decent pay and benefits, including paid holidays and vacation time, however...

Cons

-Contractors increasingly unwilling to pay bonuses or give raises. -ESG madness -Drivers shafted through independent contractors' capitulations to FedEx corporate, so the so-called "contract" is a growing moral hazard. -FedEx-employed "loaders" only responsible for "making packages available", whatever that means (it doesn't mean loading the truck properly, obviously). -Load quality is non-existent. If you want an orderly load, you'll have to unload your truck and reload it properly before you start your route. This means you have to wait for the loaders to finish making a mess and get out of the way because you need the room: expect to leave at least an hour late every day. -DRO system is broken beyond all repair, meaning... --Scanner map often does not register stops that are in the manifest. --Map pins often overlap each other for multiple stops at the same location, so you don't know there is more than one stop until you deliver one. --The routing algorithm is garbage (has you passing up stops and doing them later, going in unnecessary circles, going the wrong way on one-way streets, etc.), so you'll have to plan your route yourself anyway. --It uses "vision" numbers on stickers placed on packages to indicate where they go on the truck (and where you should be able to find them). The stickers are often missing, or they are the wrong stickers, or there are multiple stickers (from previous days--so, different numbers), etc.
