Pros

The starting pay was awesome, as were the benefits. It's a physically demanding job, but if you're able to lift the minimum amount by yourself, you'll be just fine. It might take a little while to get used to, but it's definitely worth it because it keeps you in great shape.

Cons

It's a stressful job, especially when maybe only one or two of your coworkers will be willing to stop what they're doing to help you, even when you're new and still learning. There was never a set start time. Every single day we needed to check in for our start time because there wasn't enough communication letting our managers know how many trailers we would be getting for that shift.There will be times that your start time would change at the very last minute and you'll be rushing to make it on time. Sometimes, you'll get trailers of freight out of nowhere, which means that you'll need to be working harder/faster to make sure everything gets out on time. FedEx is very "by the book," so you need to be careful about what you call off for, because it will count against you no matter what it is.

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.
