Pros

Employment of any type in a repressed economy does have value by providing income.

Cons

The FedEx Package handler position was created to service the company need of unloading, sorting and loading it's vehicles. FedEx INITIALLY - up thru about 5 years ago could support the operation needs with temporary part time staff - easy come easy go "BODIES" as we were referred to. FedEx began to value some "part timers" and encouraged them to sign on for "FULL TIME". This full time is not more than part time x 2. There are no reciprical considerations for all the back breakers - no more pay, time off, no sick days, no berevement time off paid, no stock options, no retirement, no 401k - Clock in on time, meet quota, take extended unpaid breaks when told and get off the clock when ordered. And then the work conditions - Below 0 to 115 degrees + for 2 to 4 hours.

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.
