Pros

Fedex start wage is fantastic but, this is how the company suckers people in. Fedex benefits are great as well but, beware that this is another tactic to sucker people in.

Cons

The downsides to working at Fedex is simple, they are great manipulators. They tell people what they want to hear but, do the complete opposite. All Fedex cares about is their reputation, and BRAND. They treat their frontline employee's aweful but, keep in mind that these are the people that make FEDEX very rich. Overall the company has made alot of money throughout the years, now they over work their employee's, and company expections/goals are just unreasonable to achieve.

Pros

Early adopter of technology Low number of layoffs Senior management is very competent Very skilled employees The most diverse company I have ever heard about Very low turnover

Cons

The salaries are not the highest in the industry The benefits are not great and are getting worse Be prepared to only have two weeks of vacation for your first 5 years at FedEx When something bad happens, assigning blame is more important than resolving the issue and moving on

Pros

There are many different groups in IT, so you can learn a variety of things by switching jobs within the company (but if the budget is frozen, you're stuck). Stable job, you're not likely to get fired or laid off. Good benefits. Tuition reimbursement. On-site classes by staff as well as vendors. On-site gym and cafeteria. The tech campus is located in a quiet residential area. Some groups have a laid-back atmosphere, I see people having 6-hour work days and getting away with it. However, there are teams that have strict deadlines and 70-hour work weeks. It really depends on which group you're in.

Cons

I have heard that it is difficult to move up the ladder in the technical direction, so many people go into management to be able to advance their careers. Sometimes policies such as time off and working from home are not clear, things are often done by personal arrangement with the manager. If you are a conservative married middle-aged Southern American, you'll feel right at home at FedEx. If that description does not apply to you, you might have difficulty trying to fit in socially. Again, this depends on your particular team, but if you're unlucky enough to be the opposite of this description, be prepared for the possibility of social isolation and fear of expressing your individuality.
