Pros

$11 an hour starting is a very attractive offer. The management always treats you with respect. Your schedule is very dependable and doesn't change on you. You at least know what days you're working (M-F) and can count on getting out of work by a certain time. (For example, no later than 5pm for day sort)

Cons

It is very easy to hurt yourself while performing job duties, but that is just the nature of the job. Working part time seasonly makes it mandatory for you to come in Sunday through Friday in the whole of December for the most part. That wouldn't be a problem if they worked you for more than an average of two hours a shift. The most hours you can get in one shift is four if you're lucky, but it's both a rare occurrence and you wouldn't want to work four or more hours a day anyway due to how exhausting the work is. The management is indeed very courteous and respectful, but it's very easy to see past the charade. I have done a poor job by manager's standards, yet everyday regardless of how I do, I am always told something along of the lines of "good job" or "thank you for the help". You are just another number whenever working in warehouses where you handle packages by hand. The courtesy and forced respect on their part is essentially a slap in the face, especially when they just spent an entire shift telling you the exact opposite. It'd be more respectful if they just didn't say anything. There is about a week of training, but on the job safety isn't as in depth as other places I've worked, such as UPS Ground in Harrisburg.

Pros

Meeting people & building a close relationship with regular customers is a positive with FedEx if it lasts, however the company is constantly playing games with numbers and goals by micromanaging, that seems to bump some people from there routes, then a few months later when the big ideas / plans fail to produce any gains it goes back to the same old way, but your no longer with your old customers because you were probably forced to move or bumped

Cons

unobtainable goals that have been constantly raised for more than a decade to the point you can no longer make them unless you break all the rules set in stone, break most rules of the road including that you speed thru neighborhood streets, briskly sprint up to all the homes or bussiness, and work thru most of your lunch lining up the rest of the days work on your own time i might add, just to get close to your goal to avoid the daily NOID
