Pros

There is not a single pro when it comes to working at FedEx.

Cons

-Slave labor for what you are paid. -Broke a few toes on my right foot from a floor manager not paying attention when he opened the trailer door in a frenzy. Then went into shock in the back office while filling out "important paperwork" because I was in so much pain from my toes just being crushed. It took a full day for them to get my paperwork over to the physician(assistant) at Concentra Urgent Care. I waited at the urgent care center for over 1.5 hours because they forgot about me in one of the back rooms, once they remembered I was immediately sent to the x-ray room, and guess what? My big toe and second toe were still pointing sideways so they concluded my toes were fractured. My 5-year-old nephew could have pointed that out!! What a joke. The PA said I could return to work that day, but I could hardly walk, I mean there was golfball-sized swelling under my big toe but who was I to say I couldn't work, they apparently knew EXACTLY how I was feeling. FedEx did not even give me workers comp for the 3 weeks of work missed, then had the audacity to call and ask if I was coming back to work since the injury "should" be healed by now. Avoid FedEx completely. Terrible management, terrible working conditions, terrible pay. It's sad how they treat people. Lastly, if you need a good-paying job fast, you can make more money delivering food for UberEats or EatStreet. Way more $$.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
