Pros

Benefits are decent. Stable - I never worry about getting my hours. Pay is decent for some of the work (the pay is low for loading trucks full of 50+ lb packages for hours on end, but it's slightly good for easier positions that require very little physical labor).

Cons

You are essentially a cog in the machine with very little outlet for creativity or intelligence beyond your extremely basic function. Promotions at my particular location seem extremely limited, or at least at my location (maybe one position opens up every six months at the most). At my location, workers are periodically moved from positions without consent or even explanation -- you could be doing one job perfectly for six months and suddenly and inexplicably be moved to another. Management can be lazy -- instead of actually whipping less productive workers into shape somehow, they simply sequester them away where they can do the least damage and let other workers pick up their slack. FedEx seems to mostly be where mediocrity seems to flourish -- people come to work here after high school, having no idea what else to do with their lives, and are promoted over time by simply being the least-useless person around. Some management seems competent, others I can't imagine how they got the job. While the pay is OK for what you're doing here, it's poorly-paying in general -- I can barely even afford to use my health/dental/vision insurance, even with another part-time job that pays almost double what I make at FedEx! "FedEx Cares" -- a slogan that should be amended with "but hell no, you can't unionize."

Pros

Chance to do something physical and get paid for it. Good pay and benefits. Good tuition reimbursement. You get staff meetings every morning and performance evaulations.

Cons

Hard workers have to make up for incompetent workers and get no compensation. This causes teamwork to suffer. Working conditions can be very unsanitary.

Pros

$11 an hour starting is a very attractive offer. The management always treats you with respect. Your schedule is very dependable and doesn't change on you. You at least know what days you're working (M-F) and can count on getting out of work by a certain time. (For example, no later than 5pm for day sort)

Cons

It is very easy to hurt yourself while performing job duties, but that is just the nature of the job. Working part time seasonly makes it mandatory for you to come in Sunday through Friday in the whole of December for the most part. That wouldn't be a problem if they worked you for more than an average of two hours a shift. The most hours you can get in one shift is four if you're lucky, but it's both a rare occurrence and you wouldn't want to work four or more hours a day anyway due to how exhausting the work is. The management is indeed very courteous and respectful, but it's very easy to see past the charade. I have done a poor job by manager's standards, yet everyday regardless of how I do, I am always told something along of the lines of "good job" or "thank you for the help". You are just another number whenever working in warehouses where you handle packages by hand. The courtesy and forced respect on their part is essentially a slap in the face, especially when they just spent an entire shift telling you the exact opposite. It'd be more respectful if they just didn't say anything. There is about a week of training, but on the job safety isn't as in depth as other places I've worked, such as UPS Ground in Harrisburg.
