Pros

Well ignorant people in Memphis think working at FedEx is such royalty, so I guess you'll have that conversation piece going for you. Other than that, there are no pros. Read the Cons rant.

Cons

You will get yelled at like a slave, talked to like you you're ignorant, and treated with no respect. It's the job you choose when you have zero other options. There is zero work life balance to be expected. They pay you enough for you to eat two meals per day, become late on your bills, and have just enough gas money to make it back to work, which is usually every day. So, you're basically working just to survive and go to work for FedEx. Modern day slavery. . . The only way you will have enough money for anything else is to work your shift including extra time in the AHEAD program. Which means you will be at work even more, so the extra money is pointless because you're always at work. . . Oh yeah, the job is dangerous depending on what you do.

Pros

Great teams and communication, overall. Lots of overtime opportunities. Encouraged for weekend shifts. Chances to grow or move after about 6 months of consistent work.

Cons

Not really any for part time work.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
