Pros
Never had a lay off. Decent pay for coming out of college and great benefits.
Cons
FedEx doesnt care about it's people. From the independent contractors, managers, to part time package handlers. The goals go up every year (or six months) while nothing changes to make the job easier. Usually in a production enviroment goals rise as new technology is introduced to make the job easier. I feel bad they way FedEx makes us treat our part time workers by working them as hard as we can then telling them to get OFF THE CLOCK. The work is back breaking, fast paced, and very dirty. As for the independent contractors, FedEx has this ingenious way of making them bear all the burden of owning a business and taking on all cost of fuel and maintenance. They are supposed to just deliver and pick up packages, but almost all of them have to either LOAD or HELP LOAD their van each and every morning.
