Pros

Good pay for the industry. New hires will find they are on a pay schedule that differs from those who have been there for a while. Use to be topped out in three years and new schedule will take around nine years. Technicians will find the work interesting as the fleet is varied with B727, B757, MD10, MD11, A300, A310 and B777 aircraft. Bottom line if you can handle the odd working hours and days, see below, then FedEx express may be a great place to work.

Cons

For weekends off you will have to work grave yard shift. Day shift has odd days off, (M-W) or rotating days off with four day weekend (Fri to Mon) every other week. Advancement in the management ranks is definitely more about who you know than what you know. Memphis TN, Is an okay area to live but has limited culture and variety. Education for primary schools is okay in certain outlying communities. If you are coming from a major city be prepared to deal with limited dinning and outing experiences.

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.
