FedEx reviews

Stagnant, compartmentalized, go nowhere job. If you want a job that you can sit in for the next 40 years and do the same thing day in and day out, this is the place for You! Management is useless, they will never have your back and cower to sales every chance they get. You will only get a promotion after working there about 10 years and that will be only if HR makes them because you're maxing out the salary grade. The only other way you're getting promoted is if you're on project work, but the catch is, they pick the same people (favorites) to do project work over and over. So don't bet on that. The work is demeaning and draining every second of everyday! Sales will literally treat you like dirt under their feet. They will belittle you, harass you, and treat you down right unprofessionally without repercussions and in most cases your manager will not have your back or defend you or the team in any way. Finally, because of most of the things I've mentioned and more I didn't, we have had a FLOOD of people leaving the department which makes more and more work and stress for the people who remain since they can't hire people fast enough. Even when people are hired, it take at least 6mos to a year to get up to speed in order to effectively help with the workload.

Unfortunately, some people can't handle the bare minimum of thinking this job requires. And management does not care (isn't that the case everywhere though?). There are rules, and they are reiterated now and then (no ICs in the belly, no hazmats in the belly or not right side up, don't put heavy boxes on light boxes) but even management doesn't follow them. When a truck isn't loaded properly it makes everybody mad and makes unloading take longer. Such is the cycle. They pay me enough to do my job, but not enough to care. I don't care if some box is smashed, or if a heavy box labeled fragile goes flying to the ground from the rollers. Not my problem. But for some reason I do care about people being able to do their job efficiently and safely, so I'll keep loading they way I was trained. The interviewer and interview were terrible. Easy, but limited and I encourage people to be more assertive during the interview. I think it's just to see if you can show up on time for something. For the interviewer, ask me why I want this job, maybe about other skills in case you could use me elsewhere, ask me when I am available and what shifts I prefer, and tell me which shifts are available and ask which ones I would be willing to work.
