Pros

Great benefits, medical, and company culture. 401K match, and where else can you get a Portable Pension Account? Most places after you leave your pension is gone. The people and management are outstanding from the front lines up to upper management.

Cons

There's been a few times that negative news has not trickled down as fast as I would have liked it to.

Advice to Senior Management

Proceed as you have been! We will bounce back from this recession FULL FORCE and FedEx will continue as always to treat our customers with royalty.

You need to read up on how pensions work after you leave a company, and do the math to compare what you'll get from your portable pension compared to the defined benefit pension we once had. No problem, right, they'll just bump up the 401K match to make up the difference. Oops... that went away though, didn't it?

That CEO who took a 20% (base) pay cut sounds good doesn't it? Well, his base pay was just 13% of his 2008 total compensation, so maybe it's not quite as big a deal as you thought. He's still earning multiple hundreds of times your salary plus mine.

by Ya I know.:

401K is back, they only suspended it for a year. I'm still happy with ANY pension-portable or otherwise, as opposed to ZERO pension like most companies.

I'm aware he's got a lot of other compensation, but again... how many other companies have done what he's done?
And if you're one of those teamsters guys, after all the jobs they lost last year, they still gave their CEO a BONUS.
