Pros

The schedule is VERY flexible. If you have to run an errand or leave early for an appointment its fine. This is a place where management actually cares about its employees. Recently with the economy going through a rough patch it would have been very easy to layoff people, right before Christmas no less. Instead, upper management took the biggest salary cuts and reduced our salaries by 5% and no one lost their job. I eliminated my personal trainer (a luxury item) to make up the difference in pay. No big deal whatsoever. I have the ability to work from home if necessary. This is a very laid back place to work where if you are talented and get your work done on time you will be successful. People who are self-motivated and hard-working will definitely love this company. You will be rewarded for your hard work. I would say about 90% of management is promoted from within the organization.

Cons

This is not a technology company so any projects you work on are driven by a business need and not a technology need. You will not invent the next "gizmo" here. This is more a place where you take the "gizmos" other people create and implement them in a way that makes sense to the company's business needs. If you are a technophile who has to be involved in the latest and greatest cutting edge projects stay in Silicon Valley.

Pros

Good benefits package. New employees start with two weeks paid vacation. The medical insurance package is fairly good too. I've heard that the annual bonus program is better than average, but I have yet to see that due to a downturn in business. The annual raise is 2-4%. I enjoy my coworkers as well.

Cons

New hire training was non existent. I spend more time dealing with the "system" than I do writing code. We have tons and tons of paperwork to complete. The system is very rigid at FedEx. Recently we were told that we needed to work at least 45 hours per week.

Pros

Great pay for the area. I am very happy with how I am treated at FedEx. FedEx has a pension plan that is very nice. The pension plan is a portable pension plan, which means I keep it even if I leave the company; however, I have no plans to leave. The IT market in Memphis is very poor right now. I feel lucky to be at FedEx during such hard times. Hilton, Internation Paper, Service Master, and Harrah's Entertainment all seems to making big cut backs, including layoffs. It seems that the only IT jobs left in Memphis are contract jobs.

Cons
