Working at FEDEX will destroy your person life

Pros

FEDEX pays well compared to other companies.

Cons

FEDEX says they have until the day of your requested vacation to let you know whether or not you have it off, regardless of how much notice you give them. It makes it imppossible to schedule a reservation. So if you plan on working for FEDEX just don't plan on ever getting any time off!

Overall experience at Fedex Freight...

Pros

The part-time hourly pay rate is unmatched by any other industry. Quarterly bonuses are given based on the overall performance of the center. I enjoyed working with the people on the dock. You almost become a family. For the most part, management treats the employees with respect. These guys work 10-12 hour shifts every night and love it! I appreciated the open door policy as well. They allow (and even urge) employees to talk to anyone, at any time, about any issue. I never thought I would say this, but I actually looked forward to going to work every night!

Cons

Have you ever spent time in the back of a trailer...in Texas...in June? Have you ever driven a forklift into a 30mph wind...in Jan...in the rain? This job is not for the weak-hearted. The hours are unconventional, and sometimes sporadic. I saw some pretty scary forklift accidents as well. It can be a pretty dangerous job if you are not cautious. For example, one night a road driver did not get out of his truck to see if his trailer was closed and pulled away from the dock at the exact time that a forklift was driving into the trailer. The forklift fell about 5 feet to the ground and injured an employee. Other incidents include: exploding propane tank, trailer flipping tail-over-head with a forklift (and driver) still inside, an employee hit by a truck while crossing the on-site pedestrian walkway, and plenty of employees getting their feet ran over by forklifts...
