Pros

The pay and working conditions are excellent for drivers. The actual working environment is pleasant with the equipment being comfortable and well maintained for the most part. We have assigned trucks and runs are bid by seniority. There is no weekend work unless one volunteers and you are home every day.

Cons

There are many small rules that have very little to do with the actual job which are randomly enforced. They frequently announce changes an then decide not to implement them at the last moment. Rumors are constant. All of this creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and uneasiness with a very negative impact on morale. Local management has little power to make decisions and must refer most questions to corporate headquarters. Replies are often not prompt and sometimes don't come at all, leaving the employee in limbo. The impression is that the company is being run by a bunch of petty tyrants who don't talk to each other.

Pros

FedEx is great because you make a good salary, receive great benefits, and have an opportunity at great career growth. Once you're in, and are willing to move, you can easily reach manager level within a few years.

Cons

In order to move up fast, you have to be willing to work horrible hours and move a lot. If you wish to stay where you are, expect to stay in the same position forever (unless you live in a large city and maybe you'll get lucky). It is also very hard to get out of FedEx Freight. Being a supervisor makes you good at being a supervisor but does little in regards to teaching you the business of trucking/logistics.
