Pros

FedEx sticks to the no layoffs policy and does truly stick by it's People-Service-Profit philosophy. I've never seen a company where there is so much recognition if individual contributors. Additionally, there is an open atmosphere for approacheing VP's, etc... If you can do a good job and are willign to work hard and be flexible (non-union attitude) you will have a place here as high performers are recognized and given opportunities and projects of interest.

Cons

Current economy is difficult and causing "freezes" in expenses. Plus, such a big company some things take too much time to institute. Somewhat Memphis centric mindframe.

Pros

FedEx still has many of the benefits that other companies have thrown away, although not as "rich" as they use to be. FedEx Express has never laid off an employee. FedEx promotes very largely from within. FedEx treates customers much better than others in industry and therefore has a brand that gives an employee clout. Most employees get along with each other and work together.

Cons

There is the "FedEx way" and the wrong way. This manifests itself in Purple-Correct thinking. The company doesn't take serious ideas that come from "outsiders" who are hired. Your opinion is valued inverse proportially to the number of digits in your employee number. Except for Fred Smith, no one above the rank of Sr. VP understands the airline part of the company, so airline type issues do not get priority except in the view of eliminating cost. Also, since the company has never laid off any workers, there are a lot of dead weight leeches entrenched inside the company. Lot of people doing their nails in their cubes and taking 20 minute smoke breaks each hour. Finally, if the company's salary exempt pay structure is near immoral. No adjustment for cost of living. Merit increases cap at 3.5% for a 4.0 employee. This causes talented employees to leave while the leaches stay on.
