FedEx Freight reviews

The full time employees are treated differently then the part time employees. If you are full time you receive paid vacation and paid holidays. But if you are a part time employee you will not receive any of these benefits. When it is slow during the winter season the full time employees will continue to work 40 hours a week. If you are a part time employee your hours are cut back drastically. Usually 4-5 days a MONTH if you are lucky. The management micro manages the employees. Managers have favorites and the other employees are treated poorly. The turn over is very high, on average several employees a month. The part time employees are treated like they are disposable and are not treated equally as the full time employees. All the staff FT and PT are overworked and stressed. The supervisors could care less how the work gets done as long as it is done, even if they are short staffed. Complaining to HR is useless. They will always tow the company line. Management expects the employees to lie to the customers on a regular basis.

Equipment upkeep is pathetic. Doors on trailers have fallen off when you open them. Drivers complain about not having A/C in their trucks during summer and some say they don't have heat in their truck in the winter. Most lifts don't start and need jumped whether it's summer or winter. Very few working scales for outbound dock workers, masts on the lifts sometimes fall off of the lifts because of someone not reporting that they knocked it off. Very few supplies to do job right like straps and decking (boards and beams) we run or of boards 2/3 through the shift. High bills per hour quota. I I have been working there almost a year and have reached the quota maybe 7-8 times. I have stopped getting drinks and going to the restroom during my shift so I don't loose time that hurts my bill per hour. And some center need to know how to load a trailer so people at the other centers don't have to pick up thousands of pound of un secured freight when we start a trailer. I know there is transit damage but every trailer from 3 centers that I personally have unloaded trailers from consistently aren't doing what they should to keep freight secured. You would think with the amount of damages we record that those centers would have to retrain their dock workers.
