Pros

FedEx as a whole is a good company. Great benefits and recently has been doing great with revenue.

Cons

The Sourcing and Procurement org has serious leadership issues. Morale is low and has been consistently so over the years as reported on the annual survey that team members complete. Leadership micromanages everyone's work which leads to people not feeling like their leaders trust them to do a good job and nothing is ever good enough. They will also grill, berate and demoralize team members on the weekly update calls with stakeholders during the meeting! I've never seen anything like it in all my career. This has contributed to a very high turnover rate in the last few years. They also keep piling work on to the team members that are still here. Not only will you work on your project but you will take over those that quit as well. And the expectation to complete these projects are the same no matter if you have to work all day and into the night. They don't care. If you want to work at FedEx, look for roles in other organizations in the company.

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.
