Pros

Getting paid to workout. Fast paced.

Cons

Fedex is in serious financial decline holding on by thread. The Package handler position pays minimum wage to manually load and unload materials exceeding 100lbs and team lifts are non-existent at this location due to understaffing. Managers just sit inside the control room eating popcorn while watching everyone sweat bullets and break their backs. As a package handler you are scheduled to work 4 hours but managers tend to send everyone home at 2 hours while leaving 1 or 2 trainers to finish up the remaining of work left behind. At one point of time management tried to force everyone into taking a mandatory 30-minute lunch break at the first hour of work but due to the number of complaints that did not last very long most likely because management realized that they were setting themselves up for a class action lawsuit. If you can read write count to ten not a felon and can pass a drug test do yourself a favor and apply elsewhere. Trust me the future is much brighter and the grass is greener at McDonald's or Tacobell!

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.
