Pros

FedEx Office is a fast pace environment with many different areas to develop new skills. Customers come from all walks of life in the community and in our work we get to be a part of each of them.

Cons

Since FedEx acquired Kinko's they have been slowly killing everything that made this a GREAT place to work. The "Bonus" system has been decreased every couple of years to the point you now earn a few dollars a month. Staff is constantly being reduced while demand increases. Employees are held accountable to micromanaged minutiae that have no bearing on success or failure. FedEx has attempted to save money on machines that many experienced team members find substandard. They are inconsistent and break down constantly crippling many centers, and damaging our image as the leader in the industry. Many customers came to us years ago because we provided a higher quality product (paper, machines, service). With all of these areas declining expect to lose customers back to our competitors.

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
