Pros

Job Security, Well known company, the pride of most of the people to get the job done. Every day is a different challenge, not every day is the same as the last. It keeps you thinking on your toes and won't lull you to sleep like a desk job. It also lets you meet different people from all over the U.S. who deal with the same problems that you have to. You also make may professional relationships that can help you all throughout your career.

Cons

Some of the technology in some facilities. Some of the bigger facilities have to sort all packages by hand and that is not always taken into consideration when coming up with the standers to get the job done. Also a facility with say 22000 packages on IB and 15000 packages on OB are held to the same standard as a facility with 9000 packages IB and 4000 OB. Another problem that i have come across is the fact that when you talk to customer service personal they don't know what the difference is between the different operating companies is. They also don't know what types of questions to ask a customer in order to get there problem solved quickly.

Pros

FedEx is a company that has high expectations for it's employees and is always striving for excellence. This attitude is what enables the FedEx brand to be so well considered. Salaries are fair and the benefits are terrific. The fact that FedEx provides a pension for their employees demonstrates their commitment to their "People First" ideal.

Cons

Too many performance metrics makes it almost impossible to get a perfect report card and can become distracting to performing the job at hand. Lot's of time is involved outside of the office. FedEx is not the place for a person who is only willing to work 40 hours a week.

Pros

FedEx offers a competitive salary and the opportunity for advancement within the organization. In a relatively short amount of time you are able to progress from a part time employee to a full time manager. In addition, FedEx offers loads of useful training and college-type courses for personal growth. Further, the company also offers compensation beyond hourly wage and benefits in the form of college tuition reimbursement, discounts, travel benefits, and more.

Cons

Some of the detractors of working for FedEx would be the hours; often they can be unpredictable and vary especially when you are part time working towards full time, or when you are a swing driver. There are also at times issues with staffing and the overloading of work on employees. One can however understand that to keep the company going and competetive you must keep labor costs lower and productivity higher.
