What are meetings like at FedEx?

As fast as you get the route down is as fast as you’ll go home with full pay.

Too many rules and expectation that don’t match the pay.

There's a great work-life balance, and everyone is friendly and always willing to help and help you grow.

Overlapping meetings and communication can be improved

-Up beat and active workplace with a lot of variety in responsibilities. -Can make a lot of great friends with the type of physical work you’ll be doing. -Tons of upward/horizontal mobility, almost everyone in the company is hired from within. -The type of job you can take pride in doing.

-Management consistently make awful decisions. -Your concerns aren’t ever heard or taken seriously, even concerns brought up by employees of FORTY years within workplace meetings. -Hard work/life balance for people with children due to the hours work is done (this is more about working at airports than hubs or service stations; airport hours are either very late or very early). -You almost certainly WILL need to start as a package/material handler to get jobs that pay more, and it will take years before you are full-time. -The pay compared to UPS is a complete, total, joke and management WILL string you along telling you about raises and by the time October (raise time) comes around you will get an email saying how poorly the company is doing and explaining why they can’t give you a raise even though UPS truck drivers CURRENTLY make double what you make. -Upper management only cares about paying themselves and pilots.

Not too strenuous, fun atmosphere, friendly mgmt and coworkers. Decent pay and good benefits

Favoritism, inconsistent enforcement of rules. Mgmt allows women to do less work even though they have the same job title. Constantly changing procedures and rules. FedEx is merging with its ground division which is creating alot of change.

- Fair Pay - Low stress - Good management

I hoped to be able to practice my data analysis and critical thinking skills at Fedex. This internship did not allow me to do so. I will say that my manager did what he could to expose me to as much of the company as possible. I toured the operations at the hub, shadowed sort managers, shadowed engineers, sat in on meetings with higher ups, etc. This internship started at the CPC office which is essentially a customer service call center. I spent the first half of my summer sitting in a cubicle, going to regional zoom meetings that had no application to what was going on in my office, shadowing the CPC employees, and making 1 slide safety messages for weekly intern meetings. I wasn't given access to the programs that allowed me to help out with the calls until halfway through the summer. Once finally gaining access they gave the interns a project for their region. The project was making cold calls to double-check pick-up times, and then replacing data if it was bad. It was not challenging in any way. By this point, I had requested my manager transfer me to the linehaul depart (which deals with the movement of their semi trucks). The only way this was possible was to change my shift from 9am-5pm to 3pm - 11pm and my location to a more remote hub. I was okay with that because I thought the work would be more challenging and help me become more logistically skilled. I then spent the rest of the summer tasked with entering data for when trucks arrived at the hub. Yeah it might look good to have a company like FedEx on your resume but it is more valuable to do an internship somewhere else that allows you to test what you've learned in school.

Great culture Great people Interesting and engaging work

Can be slow at times Peak season can be hectic Not as many events or in person offerings
