Pros
The history of this industry is that there is generally a sense of security during tough economic times. The ability to transfer to another station in perhaps another state and discounts on shipping.
Cons
Work hours are posted but change at any given time. I have gotten phone calls at home just as I was leaving for work to come in an hour later due to late freight. Fedex Express is constantly trying to reinvent themselves and the employees (hourly) seem to get caught in the middle of it. They are always changing not only start times but sometimes mandate overtime without proper notice to the employee and do not recognize seniority when doing so. They micro manage on a daily basis and employees are questioned daily about their performance almost to the point of harassment.No domestic partnership benefits.42 million people in this country without health care and Fedex doesn't allow for this benefit!!!!
