Pros

The base salary is good. Benefits for senior professionals include a vehicle (not fuel though). The medical insurance plan is good as is their retirement plan. The company philosophy of "People-Service-Profit" (in that order) is part of the oganizational culture and fabric. The work/life balance is excellent and allows for remote work from home. Management is fair. The organization offers very diverse opportunities for a project manager. It's a good place for a long term career.

Cons

Their bonus opportunity is not that great. Company cars do not include fuel costs. Their philosophy of putting people first has its drawbacks as perception management is a key skill for management (and project managers) to master. The functional organization structure and culture of silos can be complex to overcome for a project manager. Being an American based organization you may be required to work early evenings from time to time depending on the project. Staff turnover is low which does require one to have patience if professional advancement is an objective.

Pros

Great place to work, the sky is the limit. If you want to educate yourself they offer tuition refunds and encourage people to be their best. Offer great service to their customers.There are enough different jobs at Fedex that if you need a new challenge you can apply for different positions,so you do not need to leave the company for new oppurtunities to grow personally or professionally.

Cons

overall I'm satisfied , If there was a down sideit would be that there are not a lot of oppurtunities for the front line employees to move into sales without previous sales expereince. This really impedes people that have been with the company for a long time. I believe there should be a mentorship program that brings the front line employees and sales group together. THere are enough skills test that exist in the world that one would have to write a test see if they are compatiable with sales, if so they should be given a chance to develope those skills without having to leave the company. Overall this is a pet peeve. But this does not distract me from my commitment to the company or its objectives.
