Current Employee – been working at FedEx

Pros – The benefits, the front line people who actually do the work are great at what they do and there is a tremendous amount of teamwork.

Cons – The managment are complacent and have not initated change in operations/service offering or have no clue of what their strategy is to take on the domestic or for that matter the cross border market. They are too cozy amongst each other and there should be change. They live in the glory of their past, the term what got us here won't keep us here comes to mind.

Advice to Senior Management – The entire management should be changed, we cannot continue with the same old. Doing the same thing over and over & expecting different results will not happen. They need to be bold and take some steps to change, the margins on their most profitable buisness segment is diminishing and that should be a wake up call........

Former Employee – worked at FedEx

Pros – A simple job for someone with a grade 12 education that is happy with minimal responsibility.

Cons – Regimented and sometimes boring going to work every day doing the same route each day.

Advice to Senior Management – Be more diligent in the review process. Too many employees get a free pass at review time because it's easier not to go through the response from the employee.

Former Employee – worked at FedEx

Pros – If You are just looking for a place to earn extra money and have rest of the day avaible for school or regular job package handler is good job. Good, hard worker with lots of initiative will find a very favorable environment for lots of personal and professional growth. Employees are rewarded based on performance.I found it is good company where employees are valued and it is posssible to progress within company from package handler to managing positions.Often company subdise education efforts.

Cons – Job is very physicaly demanding. Shift starts at 1am and finishes around 6am.If you are looking for a repetitive, predictable task job, you will find what you are looking for here.

Advice to Senior Management – No advise.

Advice to Senior Management – "People-Service-Profit," always in that order. Current FedEx senior management's motto " Profit-Service-People"

Former Employee – worked at FedEx

Pros – Not having your boss around all day. Checking out all the hot receptionists. Working outside in the summer time. Seeing all the women walking around all day downtown!

Cons – Last few years treated the couriers like garbage, even though we are the face of company! There was a lot of favoritism going on the past few years! Can't advance through the company at all! Ripped off with benefits. Lost all bonuses but having to do more work then we did in the past! Get no bonus for driving around in the snow, told to work faster but try to be safe!

Advice to Senior Management – You claim there is PSP (People, Service, Profit) but last few years, company is only looking for the Profit!!!!!!

Current Employee – been working at FedEx full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Very Ethical company
Provides Best in Class service to our Customers
Opportunity with other outstanding individuals

Cons – Transportation industry currently has an excess in capacity making the environment very competitve
There is a large block of tenured (25+ yrs) that would have retired save for the great recession. This group holds a large number of executive management postion. This makes promotional opportunities very competitive. This will likely change in the next 3-5 years
