FedEx reviews

I am currently working in the new Cypress, TX hub off of Grand Parkway. At this facility, 85% of it is semi-automated with overhead conveyable and low floor heavy non conveyable belts. For the most part, the physical labor is trying to actually load or unload the trucks; yes there are heavy items however it is all in how you handle yourself in handling the item! While no one will teach you how to work smarter, you just have to find ways for yourself that make it easier. No one there will criticize or have a problem with what you do as long as you are doing it safely and are not damaging the customers packages. In fact, as long as they see that you are doing your job and constantly working and demonstrating you are a team player no one will bother you and your mornings or afternoons will fly by. As of writing this review, the hours I am working are perfect for me. I have a few health issues that I am currently dealing with and the hours that I work along with the physical labor that I perform is just enough. No one bothers me, and in fact I have asked for extra hours and they have given me some as needed. That is going to change very quickly as we are approaching the busy Christmas season. I understand that other hub facilities and other warehouses operate very differently. At the Cypress Hub they absolutely do not use pallet jacks or forklifts. State-of-the-art barcode technology handles all of the Sorting to the different chutes that the packages need to be going to. There is no pallet shrink wrapping. I came from working in a manufacturing background for 20 years. I never thought that I would be working in logistics. However, it is quite refreshing to be working in a different type of business where the common goal is all the same. From package handler to sort manager it is clear that the objective is to get the packages to where they need to be in a timely fashion. There really is no time for office politics or for socializing. And while I do believe that the management team is fair, be fair warned that if you are not willing to work you will be singled out very quickly and will not last long at all. No matter what level of management, big brother is watching you!

- Great work environment - Managers and staff are all very easy to get along with - The work is satisfying and actually fun to a certain extent - Part-time employees don't have as much pressure on them as full-time employees to make commitment times and stops per hour - Much less stressful than UPS - Overtime given for working over 8 hours in a day
