Pros
You get to be by yourself all day I guess
Cons
The way Fedex treats contractors is predatory and they don't care about your safety, benefits, or physical/mental health. Contract work happens so they're allowed to pay less and leave benefits up to the contractor manager, which good luck if you find one that cares about vehicle safety or general well-being. Also, Fedex itself is just allowed to tack on as much extra work as they please with no warning, adding extra time onto the start of the day with surprise packages. Also, every other delivery service that doesn't want their own workers breaking their backs dumps all their large packages onto us (and the package handlers who are also underpaid). Glassdoor is lucky I can't swear!
