Pros

people come first - it is a family environment. They don't lay people off. They are commited to making everyone feel welcome. The pay is good and the work is challenging. Everyone is willing to help and no question asked is stupid. There are ample opportunities for growth and moving up in the organization. You write your own way - if there is something you want to do, they allow you the freedom to take on that challenge and make it your own all the while engaging you with the right individuals to help you excel. Everyone bleeds purple - company pride is apparent and infectious!

Cons

There are some groups which are not as friendly. Overall, this company is not as friendly as the last corporation where I was employed - I think this has to do with the international flavor of FedEx versus the last corporation where I worked most of the people were from the Southern US. It often takes a while to find out who the correct people are to be working with on any given project because the company is so gigantic and along with that comes an enormous amount of red tape from legal and those processes many times hold projects up for an unecessary amount of time.

Pros

FedEx Services is the IT, marketing and sales subsidiary of FedEx Corporation that supports the major FedEx operating companies, including FedEx Express, FedEx Ground and FedEx Kinko's. With such a broad range of positions, it's easy to move between workgroups to continue learning and to avoid boredom in any single position. As an enterprise, FedEx is supported by an outstanding corporate reputation and one of the strongest, most recognizable brands in the world. Our position at the crossroads of global commerce and transportation makes FedEx and its business performance a leading economic indicator. Led by our founder, chairman, president and CEO Fred Smith, our senior leadership is widely respected in the investment community for its conservative approach and its commitment to long-term growth.

Cons

With our roots and core businesses in air and ground transportation, FedEx and its business performance are highly vulnerable to fluctuations in oil and fuel costs. In periods of escalating energy prices, FedEx -- like many businesses -- must manage costs very carefully and adjust short- and long-term priorities accordingly. Although FedEx has long adhered to an unofficial "no layoff" policy, this often leads to the discontinuation of many projects in mid-stream. While FedEx revenues are increasingly global, our core domestic express business has reached a plateau of maturity and is facing additional headwinds from the U.S. economy and a weaker U.S. dollar that limits demand for imports in the United States.

Fedex is the best and most secure job in freight

Pros

I have many reasons for working at Fedex. The pay is good and raises are much better then working for a DHL company (which I have). Which that brings me to the point of how much better Fedex is then DHL or UPS. The work conditions are great! Management knows how to do their jobs and because they start at the bottom, they know how to do your job as well! That says a lot there. At DHL they hired their management from outside. Nobody likes to be told how to do their job by someone that has never done your job! But most important is the chance to work on and around great aircraft and equipment with no prior experiance!

Cons

The only downside is that you start out part time and getting to full time status is hard due to a lack of full time jobs.
