Pros

Benefits. And work life when fully staffed.

Cons

I have worked for FedEx office for over 10 years and while i love the company itself, the politics in being a manager is horrible and very stressful. If you dont have the employees guess what you have to work. I was tired of hiring outsiders at more pay than current employees and I was tired of working like a slave for less than what I was worth. Especially being salaried "free labor". I have been declined jobs because I didnt have enough experience just to find out that they hired someone outside the company. I once had an interview managing a high end client and was turned down because they thought I wasnt a good fit, questionable seeing how one of the people on the interview panel had only been with the company for 4 months. How? How can someone 4 months into a company tell a 10 year team member that they are not qualified. No support! Only promotions if you know someone and they know someone. You have to ask permission to apply for jobs, we are grown! They recently raised our sales plans but reduced our incentives. Not fair. Working harder for less payout. Have to wait 4 months for a bonus if you meet sales. You get wrote up for not getting enough surveys, hello not something you can control, team members can be late without notification, can call in when they want and you cant say anything bu0

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
