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.
