Fedex Express Reviews

Pros

The best reason hands down are the medical benefits. If you are in school then tuition reimbursement is also a good perk to working at Fedex

Cons

Not many hours available to work on your shift in most cases. Not easy to go full time. Learning how to deal with the different personalities of all the people on a nightly basis.

Advice to Senior Management

Learn how to treat your employees like they deserve to be treated. Some managers not all look down on the employee and wont help them out when they are in need. Some of them will say they gotta do things by the book but in other areas you see not just one manager helping their team out when the need arises, which in turn raises morale and keep the people wanting to do their best for you versus just coming in to get a check and leave when they hate where they work or even worse hate their manager.

Pros

The pay is good. I like to provide great customer service.

Work in all weather conditions

Direct Management is generally okay

Cons

Lack of respect for employees at remote work sites. If you are not in Memphis or Colorado Springs forget about promotions. In my 15 years only 2 employees made it past manager and only 10 made it to manager.
Frequent purges of senior exempt employees to avoid paying pensions. Anti work attitude by senior management. Lots of promises, few deliveries. Often senior management takes credit for their employees ideas and successes.

Advice to Senior Management

Fred needs to retire, and the upper management should think about resigning as they lack any creditability with their employees

The benefits pkg and the wages are very good in today's economy.

Cons

The upper management only cares about the money. They claim to have a "People, Service, Profit" philosophy by it is actually a "Profit, Service, Profit" philosophy.

Pros

Benefits...tuition reimbursement...work hours...off on wkends

Cons

Takes a long time to top out

Advice to Senior Management

Top out employees within a merit of 5-10 years not 20 years!

Pros

Excellent benefits, retirement package, salary.

Cons

As a pilot, we generally work from 10:00pm through 6:00am. The constant shift of body clock from day to night (everyother week) can be physically exhausting and contribute to poor health.
The second "con" is I am always either packing or unpacking a suitcase. This was fun when I was young and single, but now with a family I find it quite difficult.

Advice to Senior Management

Due to the nature of our business, the majority of our busines must conducted on the back side of the clock. That being said, if possible working shorter hours during the night would greatly contribute to quality of life.

Pros

upward mobility, very organized and smart business leaders

Cons

pay raises are pathetic drivers in courier class make the same as a three year vet

Advice to Senior Management

thinking that hourly employees should be thankful to have a job is degrading

Pros

Some of the best reasons are 401k, vacation , tutition reimberishment, the amount of vacation time and salary.

Cons

It would be nice if it was easier to work in other areas when a person wanted to learn something new.

Advice to Senior Management

Give reconigtion to employees when it is needed. A little pat on the back or saying great job goes a long way.
