Pros

Excellent benefits at minimal cost (health/dental/vision/life insurance/LTD/STD/401k & company pension/airline discounts) 1st day of employment = 2 weeks vacation/4 personal days/5 sick days Pays employees for sick time not used at the end of fiscal year. Can transfer within the company anywhere nationwide

Cons

Part-time employees are treated like trash. Super high turnover. Vindictive/incompetent frontline and senior management Long hours and unorganized work assignments Highly politically charged work environment; upgrades and promotions are mostly based on relationships not work ethic or production. Only concerned with statistics not people, management can careless about what happens onroad until something happens to an employee that brings attention from the district. Unrealistic goals set by management so that raises for employees are null or minimal. Ultimately, do not accept a job at Fedex if you have expections of being promoted to another position or thinking about going onto management. This is a dead-end JOB not a career. If you are a college student I would suggest taking this job but do not stay, leave as soon as you gradute or can land something career-wise. Do not expect management to be understanding or fair. ALL THAT MATTERS AT FEDEX ARE STATISTICS AND REPORTS PERIOD. People, which includes employees and customers, are not a concern of FedEx, only MONEY.

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.
