FedEx Ground Reviews

Pros

Benefits, great pay, career advancement.

Cons

Classical Management, Mass Communication, and HR is only a way to encourage you to work harder. Uncertain of why they have them. I feel that the interview process is not based on how well you do on the interview but unethically chosen from a favorite worker they have. I went out for a package handler trainer position, and one of the managers through the grapevine said that the guy that got the job did horrible in the interview. Also i don't understand how someone gets a promotion with a horrible criminal background???

Advice to Senior Management

Build more of a relationship with the employees that help you tremendously!!!! I feel that are SORT MANAGER degrades a lot of our employees!!! He may wonder why he has few hard workers!!

Pros

the pay is decent ($11/hr), the managers are pretty cool, minimal amount of stress, and it's a good job to have if you want to stay in shape

Cons

pay seems not worth all the physical labor, some managers can be very unprofessional, the benefits dont kick in untill working there for almost more than half a year, high risk of injury from falling boxes

Advice to Senior Management

the managers could be a little less demanding. They expect a breakneck pace of unloading trucks regardless of the fact that the truck may or may not be packed well to begin with.

Pros

Good benefits. There are good people that work for you.

Cons

Expect too much for the pay. You are never really off because they give you a phone and always expect an answer.

Advice to Senior Management

Promote the guys from the trenches that know what's going on. Dont make them carry the dummies you put in the higher positions on their backs.
