Pros

Good benefits (medical, dental, FSA, HRA, etc.), most managers are flexible if you need to work from home for whatever reason, a lot of good co-workers overall.

Cons

They do not pay well compared to the same job title/description as other companies, which will continue to cause them to lose young talent. They never try to retain talent because it’s a legitimate strategy of the company to let people leave so they can bring in new people that are cheaper, clearly ignoring the volume of data out there showing how expensive turnover and re-hiring is. Specifically, the sourcing and procurement org in the FedEx services operating company is an absolute nightmare, and that’s putting it lightly. Egotistical management, severe lack of true leadership skills, disingenuous, disinterested in employee opinions, and rule with an iron fist. Many stakeholders want nothing to do with our management team, which makes an ICs life miserable. A large number of employees have jumped ship over the past few months, which is only going to continue based on the amount of current employees looking for new jobs. But that’s ok, because new hires will be cheaper.

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

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.
