Pros

Good solid company, with benefits. Company provides great service to its customers. No layoff policy.

Cons

I have been working at FedEx for 22 years. When I first started the company provided very good compensation to its employees. Frequent pay raises, pro-pay, profit sharing, low cost, high quality healthcare benefits. However, for the past 10 or so years, they have gotten away from their core philosophies of People-Service-Profits, or PSP. It is now the other way around, where Profit comes first and People last. Year over year they have lowered the amounts of our raises, increased the premiums of their healthcare (blaming it on Obamacare), decreased overtime hours. Which translates to a lower paycheck year over year. This is a perfect example of the disparity of the wages between the middle class and the rich. While their compensation has steadily increased year over year, ours have stagnated or decreased. We are the front line employees, who through our hard work and dedication are the backbone of this company, we are FedEx!

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
