FedEx reviews

Micro managed to the Nth degree. Packages per hour, stops per hour, tracking not only every stop a courier makes,but gaps in time- one hour vs half hour lunch. And that is nothing! Prepare to put in a 12 hour day and get calls all hours of the day and night from employees for call offs and personal problems. If you are not a member of the "boys club" you will not be in the circle of those promoted. Got a number of call offs- get ready to cover for every missing employee. Jump in the can and unload those packages! Get in those trucks and deliver packages- or make pickups. Hey, don't forget the office work you need to get done, even though you are on the road-no excuses! Late freight, so meet your couriers on the road and pray they give you a service disruption. Oh, and God forbid you get a sick relative. My mother was in the hospital and told she had cancer, but our managing director said "I can't let you take any time off- you are a MANAGER" and this even though I was DUE vacation...this was in April and our fiscal year ended June 1. I bled purple until the bruises I had out numbered my pain threshold.

Unrealistic expectations for management from VP level down. Incompetent/ out of touch upper management. Profit oriented, no longer people oriented. Unable to get resources to properly manage. Unable to hire specific jobs categories in an efficient manor. Director level makes arbitrary decisions which can seriously affect employees of all levels, only to erase the decision a day later. Chain of command may be too long..
