Pros

Like others have said, work life balance: they are very down to earth and understanding with reasonable requests. Pay is pretty good for what we do. Management generally treats you as equal. No babysitting. Benefits are great. Opportunity to transfer just about anywhere if you so desire. Well organized: Unlike other employers, I generally feel very informed on where I stand with Vacation, benefits, etc. Take a day off and you will have it off, no games, no "lost paperwork." Generally a pretty laid back work environment, they do a good job of spreading out tasks and responsibilities to prevent it from becoming a pressure cooker - which it could easily become considering the intense focus on time management. Company seems intent on hiring employees for long term and keeping them happy.

Cons

It's a giant bureaucracy. Paperwork, paperwork, paperwork. I have probably signed my name on paper or via a computer several thousands of times. Sometimes they are so focused on "numbers," they don't see the big picture when it comes to efficiency and customer service: In continuation of that... there is a complete conflict with the push for efficiency and customer service. If I am waiting several minutes for a customer I am not being efficient, but if I don't wait I am providing poor customer service. There needs to be less tunnel vision, and a more practical approach for stuff like that. the way it stands now, your "numbers" are hurt by providing good customer service. Like any bureaucracy, change comes at a snail pace. The computer system is a relic of the 70s/80s for the most part.

Pros

FedEx is a company that is a leader in the transportation Industry. FedEx offers great career advancement opportunity. Very good training and preparation for other job opportunites. Management is fair, but there tends to be a lot of gossip floating around in the inside sales offices. Travel benefits and shipping discounts are awesome. You really can't compete with FedEx when it comes to these kinds of perks.

Cons

Politics and the gossip that goes around, and since the corporation is a large one the pay is not very good initially. It is a sacrifice initially for a long term career success.

Pros

A few of the best reasons to work at Fedex are the benefits. The travel benefits allow you travel on many airlines at a discounted price. Example 50 dollars round trip throughout the USA. Discounts also on cruises and hotels. Other benefits include decent health care coverage, pension, discounted shipping, job security - with a no lay off policy.

Cons

Stringent policies. Live and Die by the clock. Your life is often at the mercy of how many deliveries you have for the day. Your day will end when your done delivering, which can result in many 12 hour days, including breaks. You wont see your family during the last couple weeks of December.
