Pros
The benefits are pretty good compared to other companies. The insurance is good. The pension has been changed twice in the last five years, but at least we have one. If you are in the field you have a great opportunity to satisfy your customers. You can build relationships and run your job like it is your own business. There is a no layoff policy, although it is not written in stone. The senior mgmnt. is invisible to people in the field. There is no one looking over your shoulder when you do your job. If you are a courier you are outside most of the time.
Cons
This is a two tiered company. Management vs. hourlies. The frontline employees are viewed with utter contempt. The managers micromanage everything. The managers are kool-aid drinkers and many believe anything upper management tells them even when it makes no sense. The benefits have slowly been whittled away from us. No more profit sharing, no jumpseat benefit, no survivor income benefit, no Individual performance pay. If you have surgery and go out on disability you get five sick pay days and then you have to go on STD. The vendor for Fedex treats you like a criminal. Fedex chooses the low cost provider for benefits.
