Overall great company and benefits, but very painfully slow advancement."

Business Outlook
Pros
- paid training - lots of vacation time - 5 sick days and 4 single days off the first year (and every year thereafter) - 2 weeks vacation after 1 year/3 after 5/4 after 10/5 after 20 - good health insurance - tuition assistance (about $2,500/yr)
Cons
- extremely unstable hours (They will work you all sorts of different shifts in the same week!) - company constantly cutting benefits every year - advancement takes forever (I drove tractor trailers for them. At most carriers, you reach the top of scale in 1-3 years. At FedEx Express, reaching the top of scale takes 15-20 years!" - Oh yeah and their volume is WAY down right now. Hours are being cut and it's likely that their no-layoff policy may go out the window.
