Pros

Fed Ex has good benefits and a good hourly wage. $22.43 per hour top out, after three years

Cons

Hours have been cut drastically, Im only working 10-15 hours per week. Fred Smith CEO of Fed Ex took a 20% pay cut out of his 1.5 million dollas salary, but he gets 24 milion per year in stock options. Bu cutting overhead Managers 5 - 10% pay cut and hourly employees ny some 50- 80% cut in pay by reduction of hours worked. The stock will go up and his 20% salary reduction will be offset and even gain him more by the reduction in expenses creating a more attractive stock price to shareholders which in turn protects upper level senior managements stock options and secures thier retirement nest eggs while us guys and gals at the bottom get our 401k match cancelled for a year! along with no cost of living increases or pay raises!, but we should still come in work hard for the 10 - 15 hours and feel great about the company??

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
