Pros

Open communication about things that are happening within the company at any given time. Senior Leadership is focused on the employee and their happiness, but they are too concerned with paperwork. The environment is awesome and the comraderie next to none.

Cons

TOO MANY FORMS!! It seems like there are four hundred forms to fill out every time you want to make a change to your employee account, or your benefits, or your schedule. Nothing is easy. There are also rampant conerns about acquisitions and the opportunities afforded by them. Too many chiefs and not enough indians it would seem like.

Pros

FedEx has the ability to pull up its bootstraps when times get difficult. I have seen management continually cut costs, thus ensuring the workforce is spared from layoffs. In a time when job security is somewhat scarce, FedEx has continually offered its workforce a safe haven as long as packages keep shipping. I believe this is a testament to the overall management by our founder Fred Smith. As long as he is around, I really do believe the employees will be thought about before drastic cuts are made.

Cons

There are a lot of "old guard" employees left at FedEx. The same benefit that FedEx has in providing a safe haven for its employees, also leads to a bit of a downfall in unqualified workers. In the IT arena where I work, there are many folks still on the job, whether having moved to a new department or not, whose time had come many years ago. Unfortunately, it seems neither they nor management has seen it that way. It leads to discourse in some of the younger and hungrier employees who share the same titles as the older ones, but end up performing most of the work. These "old-timers", whose vacation times now exceed 5 weeks in some cases, come and go as they please, and are allowed to reap the same benefits and titles as those of us with much more aptitude for the job. This can be very discouraging and cause a lot of qualified folks to turn away from working at FedEx.

Pros

Great pay for the area. I am very happy with how I am treated at FedEx. FedEx has a pension plan that is very nice. The pension plan is a portable pension plan, which means I keep it even if I leave the company; however, I have no plans to leave. The IT market in Memphis is very poor right now. I feel lucky to be at FedEx during such hard times. Hilton, Internation Paper, Service Master, and Harrah's Entertainment all seems to making big cut backs, including layoffs. It seems that the only IT jobs left in Memphis are contract jobs.

Cons
