Pros

* Awesome benefits when they kick in (after 6 months) * HR was excellent and more than willing to help out any way that they could. * Managers were fair. * SAFETY FIRST!!!

Cons

* Incredible turnover. Our station was 125% and according to our HR lady this number was one of the lowest throughout the company * Pay was horrible, I started at $9.25. They offer a 25 cent increase after 30 days. * They should call it FedEx GRIND because it's all physical ALL the time. 4 hours of non-stop loading of bumpers, crates, tires, food storage, bicycles, crates of medical equipment by yourself. I am now working for FedEx Express (I know, it's a completely different division with different rules even though it's the "same" company) and it is FANTASTIC! Higher pay, benefits kick in after 30-90 days, a fraction of the grunt work that I experienced at FedEx Ground. People at the FedEx EXPRESS hub have been there 8-20 years which should give you an idea of the difference in cultures.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
