Pros

- paid training - lots of vacation time - 5 sick days and 4 single days off the first year (and every year thereafter) - 2 weeks vacation after 1 year/3 after 5/4 after 10/5 after 20 - good health insurance - tuition assistance (about $2,500/yr)

Cons

- extremely unstable hours (They will work you all sorts of different shifts in the same week!) - company constantly cutting benefits every year - advancement takes forever (I drove tractor trailers for them. At most carriers, you reach the top of scale in 1-3 years. At FedEx Express, reaching the top of scale takes 15-20 years!" - Oh yeah and their volume is WAY down right now. Hours are being cut and it's likely that their no-layoff policy may go out the window.

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.
