Advice to Senior Management

- Let us not rest on our past accolades and become too complacent. This is a high barrier-to-entry industry but we still need to focus on innovation, efficiency and speed in this era of global competition.

Cons

The heat is terrible , it would be alittle more bearile if there was a fan in my work area.

Advice to Senior Management

If a worker is good and hard working , not always tatteling crying and complaining. Don't ignore them leave alone to do the work of 3 people. without sending her someone to help out so they are not struggling to catch their breath . Instead reward them with more hours, and opportunities to learn more so they move up , to add their abilities , skills,and hardwork to help guide and motivate the other workers.

Pros

The benefits and worklife balance are excellent at FedEx. Without question this is the best place I've worked as far as that goes. The ability to move around in the company and grow is also quite good. I've now had three careers at FedEx and they have generously paid for my education while preparing for the latest. Their policy of promoting from within means that a lot of people I know have had opportunities to grow in ways they could not imagine.

Cons

Innovation takes time. Paperwork and procedures are somewhat complex and getting moreso all the time. This may be occurring at other firms as well, but it seems especially difficult here.

Advice to Senior Management

Streamlining processes and instituting more collaborative processes across the Operating Companies would help us get more done for our customers.

Pros

Stable company and Good benefits. Fantastic Shipping Company. Very Low turnover of employees and management.

Cons

Not a good place to advance a technical career. Very few promotions to get beyond the senior level.

Pros

FedEx is stable and tries to keep employees best interests at heart. They offer reasonably competitive pay and benefits. There is pride in the brand, even among employees.

Cons

FedEx can be political and two-faced... the company seems much more concerned about their reputation to the public (shareholders) and sometimes shoots itself in the foot. Also, FedEx has become very bureaucratic and more of a popularity game, rather than truly rewarding innovation and hard work. The employee has become more disposable over the years, though, admittedly, it's still better than most companies.

Advice to Senior Management

Show some commitment in company direction. FedEx seems to change directions with the wind and sometimes appears indecisive, inconsistent, and lost.

Pros

Job security, work life balance, low cost of living in Memphis

Cons

limited opportunity for career advancement

Advice to Senior Management

mentor your capable employees and learn their needs

Pros

One of the biggest employers in the area. People from diverse backgrounds.

Cons

Limited merit raise and promotion opportunities.

Advice to Senior Management

Provide better merit increase and promotion opportunities.
