FedEx reviews

Fedex is BIG, and the challenges of managing that size of organization has led to an over-reliance on rules and procedures that tend to hider productivity and innovation. More and more, it is losing the ability to respond to market pressures and opportunities in a timely fashion. Additionally, the company has lost the managerial edge that propelled its success in early years. They have acquired a glut of mid-level corporate survivors who rely more on preserving the status-quo than taking the risks necessary for competitive success. From an employee standpoint, a job at Fedex is not as secure as it once was. While they formerly had a no-layoff policy, they have abandoned it. Layoffs aren't frequent, but they are now part of the Fedex culture, with the attendant effects on morale.

FedEx doesnt care about it's people. From the independent contractors, managers, to part time package handlers. The goals go up every year (or six months) while nothing changes to make the job easier. Usually in a production enviroment goals rise as new technology is introduced to make the job easier. I feel bad they way FedEx makes us treat our part time workers by working them as hard as we can then telling them to get OFF THE CLOCK. The work is back breaking, fast paced, and very dirty. As for the independent contractors, FedEx has this ingenious way of making them bear all the burden of owning a business and taking on all cost of fuel and maintenance. They are supposed to just deliver and pick up packages, but almost all of them have to either LOAD or HELP LOAD their van each and every morning.
