FedEx is a great company to work for.

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

Solid Fair Company. Great branding and visualization. It is truly wonderful to come to work where people care about one another and enjoy working together for a greater purpose, which is to service the world. FedEx helps the Economy and we definitely do our share of supporting outside causes such as United Way. It was absolutely amazing at how many were willing to volunteer their time and efforts this past Christmas Day and never complained about it. We just knew it had to be done. It made me proud that when companies are dying out there from the soft economy that our leader, Fred Smith, stood up for his company and said instead of downsizing and layoffs, we are going to take a pay decrease from my salary on down. That shows someone who cares.

Cons

It is so competitive that it is hard at times to move ahead professionally speaking.

Pros

It is a great company where employees are valued. Employees are rewarded based on performance. So a good, hard worker with lots of initiative will find a very favorable environment for lots of personal and professional growth. Their commitment to people is deep. Letting an employee go, or a group of employees, is only ever done as a very last resort. The benefits package is one of the best, and it is still mostly paid for by the company. There are many opportunities for special recognition and reward. The bonus program is based on performance of the company as well as the employee.

Cons

It is a corporation. So some of the same problems of red tape and policy slowdowns that exist at other corporations exist here. Also, being a corporation, there are some silo'd groups within the organization. But upper management has been working to resolve those silo issues for the past few years. While a motivated and talented person will find the performance based atmosphere very beneficial, someone just looking for a place to collect a paycheck will find an environment that moves and adapts quickly. If you are looking for a repetitive, predictable task job, you won't find what you are looking for here. Be prepared for new adventures and challenges every few weeks.
