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!!!!

Pros

As a courier you are on your own on the road with no one to bother you during the day.

Cons

The constant threats if you dont meet unreasonable goals. the ridiculous policies set by a company that calls itself a people company.

Pros

FedEx is a satisfactory job to start with as a young person, but beware. It will take the average driver (courier) over ten years to "top out" at pay. FedEx is best to be used as a job to supplement full time college courses while working towards a degree. When said degree is achieved, run don't walk away from FedEx.

Cons

Slavish work atmosphere. Negativity at all times from management concerning your job performance. Rampant favoritism by management towards selected employees. Zero tolerance for mistakes. Failure of this company to keep pace with the cost of living. The worst couriers go into management, perpetuating the "us vs. them" (courier vs. management) mentality. Courier pay stagnates, management pay increases.
