FedEx reviews

Heavy lifting Negative coworkers Whatever

Don't work here if you don't want to eventually be in a contracting position (FedEx Express and Ground merged into FedEx One. Currently the two are still separate but it's pretty obvious Express is on the chopping block), or if you don't want to work in the rain, heat, humidity, snow, ice, with crazy drivers that get worse every year, irritable business people who don't want to sign for packages, and confusing dock locations that will have you circling the building for 15 minutes - all for pay that's way less than the competition. The raises are insulting and only get smaller every year (a guy who had been there for thirty years got a 12 cent raise). Any complaints you have don't matter. The handheld devices they give you are trash and constantly malfunction. I was told my route would be 6 hours long but I usually end up delivering for 8 or 9 hours on top of the 2 hours of package handling I do in the morning. The planes and trucks are always late which makes the drivers leave the station late and have you rushing to deliver all the priority packages on time. You will work 12-14 hours during the holidays and no, your managers will not. If you work Tues-Sat, you will be drafted to also work Mondays during the holidays or if too many people are off that week due to vacation. One of the recruiters literally told us to tell our families we loved them and that we'll see them in the new year because all our time will be spent working from late November to the end of December. No real room for career growth. They already know who they want to promote and, spoiler, it's not you. Simply put: the work is not worth the pay and stress. I literally have high blood pressure now because of this job.
