Pros

I loved working in the early AM hours, which allowed me to work a second job in the early afternoon. Great job if you like to constantly be moving and want to essentially be paid to work out. Hard work does seem to pay off.

Cons

HR was extremely impersonal and difficult to reach, likely because of the constant revolving door of employees. My line was almost always understaffed and you're expected to pick up the slack of lazy employees. In peak season I worked 6-7 days a week, 12am-10am with no breaks. Literally had to sprint to the bathroom and back to the line. Management rewarded our hard work with CFA biscuits...that we had to eat while loading trucks. The buildup of packages with so few bodies to sort and load was complete dangerous. Too many oversized packages for too small trucks. Tripping hazards everywhere, poor communication (lucky if you had a radio on the line), was spoken to negatively for hitting the stop button on belt for a chemical spill. I ultimately hurt my shoulders from a large TV falling over onto my back...old my supervisor (who was great and tried her best to be supportive under the terrible conditions) but nothing ever came of it. The situation was definitely unique - we were dealing with a major influx due to a pandemic as well as peak holiday season. FedEx was not prepared and didn't do much to address safety issues that were present every single day.

Pros

Great people to work with - from all walks of life and egos are left at the door Work is constant/Very little down time Good Hourly rate for what’s available

Cons

Communication from HR- during training they let you know that you’ll be working a shift of 2-4 hours. But your first day and every day from then on will be at least 5.5 hours. Management & Trainers Suck - trainers think there managers when they are only a step above a Package Handler. So together the trainers and management sit around talking & flirting with the girls, they never work despite having been a PH at one time. Instead they order you around when they see a light on that they want out. Management - Constant refers to the huge pay ($17 an hour) when they get a little above that and do nothing.

Pros

There is not a single pro when it comes to working at FedEx.

Cons

-Slave labor for what you are paid. -Broke a few toes on my right foot from a floor manager not paying attention when he opened the trailer door in a frenzy. Then went into shock in the back office while filling out "important paperwork" because I was in so much pain from my toes just being crushed. It took a full day for them to get my paperwork over to the physician(assistant) at Concentra Urgent Care. I waited at the urgent care center for over 1.5 hours because they forgot about me in one of the back rooms, once they remembered I was immediately sent to the x-ray room, and guess what? My big toe and second toe were still pointing sideways so they concluded my toes were fractured. My 5-year-old nephew could have pointed that out!! What a joke. The PA said I could return to work that day, but I could hardly walk, I mean there was golfball-sized swelling under my big toe but who was I to say I couldn't work, they apparently knew EXACTLY how I was feeling. FedEx did not even give me workers comp for the 3 weeks of work missed, then had the audacity to call and ask if I was coming back to work since the injury "should" be healed by now. Avoid FedEx completely. Terrible management, terrible working conditions, terrible pay. It's sad how they treat people. Lastly, if you need a good-paying job fast, you can make more money delivering food for UberEats or EatStreet. Way more $$.
