Pros

FedEx is a satisfactory job to start with as a young person, but beware. It will take the average driver (courier) over ten years to "top out" at pay. FedEx is best to be used as a job to supplement full time college courses while working towards a degree. When said degree is achieved, run don't walk away from FedEx.

Cons

Slavish work atmosphere. Negativity at all times from management concerning your job performance. Rampant favoritism by management towards selected employees. Zero tolerance for mistakes. Failure of this company to keep pace with the cost of living. The worst couriers go into management, perpetuating the "us vs. them" (courier vs. management) mentality. Courier pay stagnates, management pay increases.

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.
