Pros

If you want to make a difference, FedEx will allow you that opportunity. Embracing the Purple Promise is a way of life. The company is dedicated to quality, although their HR Departments and Global Dispersing Departments have never embraced QDM. Pay is very good as long as you start at a high salary. Salary increases are 100% formula driven, no exceptions unless they see a signed offer letter from elsewhere. Once hired, you're in as long as you want. FedEx rewards loyalty.

Cons

FedEx rewards loyalty above EVERYTHING else; so, being a naysayer will get you minimized and set aside very quickly. Leadership doesn't walk the talk. Mailbox is full of Purple Kool-Aid, of which the upper leadership does not believe it applies to them. If you are not an officer or director, you are a commodity can be replaced, but they won't hire you. If you are not loyal, they will make you want to quit. I cannot tell you the number of times annual bonus were reduced or eliminated for managers and below, only to later find out officers and directors received full or greater bonuses. It has gotten so bad that FedEx stop explaining the rules for how the bonus is determined, so that will stop appearing as liars.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
