Pros

Much of the job is autonomous at times. If you can penetrate a key account with a competitor and switch them you'll likely enjoy solid commissions for several quarters. Very good reimbursement for expenses: car, mileage etc. Solid base pay.

Cons

Tedious admin work- almost daily. Endless reports and reports of reports. New action items. Working for an enormous company there is significant projections to have for management weekly. Many of these mundane tasks interfere with the true role of the job- SALES! Account maintenance and service takes up a significant amount of time.

Pros

Work\life balance, benefits are good.

Cons

Some mid-level employees are not as competent as they need to be and should have been let go during the recent lay-offs.

Pros

FedEx Ground's independent contractor model for package delivery and line-haul drivers provides the freedom for owner-operators to essentially run their own business. The more the company succeeds, the more money they can make. If you examine the financial performance and growth of the business unit over the last several years, they have been very successful, and they have done it without the Teamsters.

Cons

Its important to note that FedEx Ground managers; Service Managers, HR Recruiters, Terminal Managers, etc. are FedEx company employees with full benefits; 401K, etc. Only the FedEx Ground Couriers and Linehaul drivers receive no benefits, no insurance and no company retirement. However, they can (and most do) purchase their own coverage. Just got to do some research and decide what's best for you if you want to be a Courier or Linehaul Driver.
