Pros

FedEx is a satisfactory job to start with as a young person, but beware. It will take the average driver (courier) over ten years to "top out" at pay. FedEx is best to be used as a job to supplement full time college courses while working towards a degree. When said degree is achieved, run don't walk away from FedEx.

Cons

Slavish work atmosphere. Negativity at all times from management concerning your job performance. Rampant favoritism by management towards selected employees. Zero tolerance for mistakes. Failure of this company to keep pace with the cost of living. The worst couriers go into management, perpetuating the "us vs. them" (courier vs. management) mentality. Courier pay stagnates, management pay increases.

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
