Pros

FedEx is a global company, so it takes years before major layoffs significantly impact employees. However, layoffs have been ongoing since 2022.

Cons

FedEx suffers from an unnecessary hierarchical structure, with Managing Directors (MDs) acting as taskmasters rather than strategic leaders. They add an extra layer between VPs and managers, often lacking expertise in their assigned teams. Poor execution by executives has led to frequent global layoffs as revenue declines, relying solely on cost-cutting to stay afloat. Nepotism and favoritism result in unqualified executives, causing top talent to leave while remaining employees carry the workload—yet directors and officers take the credit. Low annual appraisals and disappointing bonuses (AIC) further demotivate employees.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
