I am lucky to be working for a company like FedEx

Corporate account manager

Pros

The Culture, - People, Service Profit I started working for Fedex while in college, I received full benefits working part time, and was re-cruited into the sales force. That was about 8 years ago, I have grown both personally and professionaly because of the wonderful collegues and leadership and I feel very lucky. Even during hard economic times, FedEx still has a no lay off policy, and really focus on the best for there employees and our customers. I am very proud to tell people where I work.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive in other sales positions, other collegues have been able to move on to other sales positions within the transportation industry for much more money, although things are always changing at FedEx, I feel the lifestyle of working for such a company out wieghts the extra money.

Pros

They say we will never be laid off, so job security is good. But they are also not hiring so... Good benefits and they do seem to honestly care about you and how you feel and work. Very good people too work with both in the lower levels and in Management.

Cons

Rather tedious work, very little variation. Also at time feeling of not really being able to help the customers as much as you would like. Which can make the job very stressful at times. You know you will be taking the same kind of calls 8hrs a day 5days a week with very little variety or change in routine.

FedEx is a great place to work.

Pros

The "people-service-profit" policy that puts people first in decision-making. As stated in the early days, "Take care of your people, and they will give good service, and that will lead to profits." As a corporation, this emphasis has to some extent been watered down, and the focus in taking care of people has been on providing top-notch benefits, rather than on managers treating their employees well. However, the majority of management does treat employees well. In fact, the higher in management, the nicer the person tends to be. Upper management largely comes from within the workforce, and attempts to stay connected with the workforce.

Cons

Like any large company, there are pockets where working is less pleasant than others. Even with a strong "people first" emphasis, there are instances where a bad manager becomes entrenched, or where policies don't seem to support people. It's such a huge company that at times, the decisions may seem to be disconnected from the needs of one area or of one group of employees. That said, the policies are heavily weighted in favor of employees, rather than management, and any employee who feels that they have been treated unfairly has opportunities to be heard by upper management, who are often more sympathetic to the employee than might be expected.
