Pros

It does fill a certain niche for someone who wishes to do this type of work while offering some lattitude in scheduling

Cons

Although Contractors are considered independent, almost every aspect of what they do is governed by FedEx to include: Wearing company uniforms, purchasing trucks with FedEx branding, dictating the manner and means of how the job will be performed. Workload is subject to the whims of Management. You are pretty much an employee with no benefits

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
