FedEx Office Reviews

Cons

Pay too low, no bonuses and you don’t feel like you are apart of the real FedEx

Cons

Having to be trained on new marketing initiatives often.

Cons

New management, favoritism, lack of help in centers, new district managers every other year, lack of empathy

Cons

Corporate has begun to push workers to use key phrases, which can feel impersonal when interacting with customers. Rumors going around about being penalized for not getting plus-ones (add-ons to print products).

Cons

Management style varies widely from store to store, constantly understaffed, takes time to get comfortable with so many different departments.

Cons

90% of customers aren't empathetic at all to your current situation, usually things
 that are beyond your control. Training stores are a joke when they can't replicate the workflow of a busy store. So, you would expect the trainees to come in ready to go. Somehow, they don't get trained properly, even during all the downtime they experience. You can go unnoticed if you're not brown nosing (you know, typical retail politics). The manager turnover rate is annoying especially, when it's constantly happening in your own store. Managers are no longer in control of scheduling, they have automated software for that now.

Cons

low pay for amount of work expected, highly stressful environment, demands from corporate with no clear guidance on how to achieve goals, some newly hired employees make as much (if not more) than tenured employees, stressful holiday peak shipping with no increased compensation.

Cons

Work life balance as a store manager role can be challenging

Cons

Last year I was in there were very tight payroll budgets so it made it difficult to staff the location properly. Making it difficult to gain stability in the location.

Cons

There can be a high school culture which is very unprofessional and biases towards favorites. Way behind on what people should be being paid. Also, they will hire from the outside and bring them in at higher rates than those who have worked there way up through the company.
