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!

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.
