Pros

Large company. Good Benefits Always need pilots and drivers. Full time benefits for part-time workers at the hub.

Cons

Job stability - everyone is afraid of being cut in 2024. As head count is reduced, workload increases per person. High stress. No consideration (in practice) for work/life balance. Vendors and foreign employees are more valuable than seasoned employees with historical knowledge of the business practices. Current employees can not be a reference for former employees (could lose their job!) FedEx tells management to carry personal liability insurance in case an employee sues them (FedEx will not support manager, but if FedEx is being sued - the employee must be a witness for FedEx.) Imploding several companies into One Federal Express" therefore headcount is being cut - over 24,000 by March 2024! Used to focus on People/Service/Profit (all in equal proportion) - now it feels it is about Profit/Profit/Profit.

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.
