Pros

Incredible growth opportunity. I was hired as a seasonal ops admin (part time) in October 2014, promoted to operations administrator 1(part time) in December 2014, and promoted to full time operations administrator 2-3 in May of 2015. It is now December 2015 and I am about to interview for a full time operations manager position in a terminal out of state. I had no prior experience before Fedex, and was hired on without being a package handler first.

Cons

My terminal has a lot of favoritism and it creates a hostile work environment. There are managers that are rude and demeaning, but nobody ever tells HR about the issues, so nothing gets solved. HR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. THEY WILL HELP YOU. Trust me, if you're having any issues with being treated unfairly or someone who has a higher position than you treating you badly, you need to report it to HR. You will not get punished, if anything you will be rewarded for bringing forth the information. This applies to everyone- even package handlers! If you respect your managers but they don't respect you- or they make you feel bad about yourself or assert their authority and make you feel insignificant- you need to report it.

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
