Pros

Great hours for going to school during the day. Tuition reimbursement is annual at $3000. Health, vision and dental insurance is good for a student. Pay is good for the work and the hours. Overall, you work in a warehouse and your manager and team members make a huge difference in how enjoyable it can be; if you do not like your current crew just wait a few weeks and it will probably change.

Cons

limited growth, unless of course you want to be a manager or move to a different location. Almost all of the professional careers within fedex express are in memphis. Raises are not based on how hard you work or the quality of your work; they are based on how many times you were late over the past year. Many people use his job as a stepping stone. It is a great stepping stone because it is a solid job with great benefits (try to find more generous benefits for working part time).

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.
