Pros

FedEx offers a competitive salary and the opportunity for advancement within the organization. In a relatively short amount of time you are able to progress from a part time employee to a full time manager. In addition, FedEx offers loads of useful training and college-type courses for personal growth. Further, the company also offers compensation beyond hourly wage and benefits in the form of college tuition reimbursement, discounts, travel benefits, and more.

Cons

Some of the detractors of working for FedEx would be the hours; often they can be unpredictable and vary especially when you are part time working towards full time, or when you are a swing driver. There are also at times issues with staffing and the overloading of work on employees. One can however understand that to keep the company going and competetive you must keep labor costs lower and productivity higher.

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.
