Pros

Excellent brand that gets you in the door with companies you call upon. Also helps to have the FedEx name at your back when you have to prospect for new business. You have the ability to plan your days the way you want around your schedule, so work life balance is great. The relationships you build are great because you're helping people with their business. Competition is usually FedEx vs UPS. Plenty of opportunities if you want to move around in the company.

Cons

Onboarding is really poor. The training you receive is good on a corporate level, but there's so much to learn that it's a 'trial by fire' mentality while learning from your other reps in the area. their plate is full, too, so if you don't have any team players, you could be screwed. It's a general consensus that you don't feel remotely comfortable until at least a year on the job. Expectations of calls per day is not set in stone, but it might come up if you're not performing and consistently closing business. If you thrive off of a team atmosphere and interaction with team members, this is not the job for you. Perform or they won't hesitate to manage you out.

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.
