Pros

FedEx's current CEO is the original founder of the company with great dreams. This is good because the company has not lost track any time and has been very successful. The management has shown integrity and effectiveness in the past 35 years of history and is one of the virtual duopolies in the US. In the current economic turmoil FedEx has shown tremendous strength and resorted to salary cuts and downsizing in a seemingly fair, controlled and minimal way. The company provides good opportunities for advancement and compensation and advancement are generally performance based. I have not heard of any discrimination based on race, sexual orientation etc. in this company. In short FedEx is a reliable company with good growth opportunities.

Cons

There is some red-tape and it is probably because of the size of the company. The company is conservative and hence chances for innovation are not too many.

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
