Pros

The only good thing about FedEx Express is the benifits and thats it. Medical, Dental, 401k, discounts, etc

Cons

There is alot but I will only mention the major ones. 1) Managment is lacking a connection to employees 2) The hourly pay for Handelers is crappy consirdering the fact that you are putting your body at risk. I vote an increase to 15.50 an hour and a mandatory minium of 22 hours a week for Part time handlers. 3) Getting additional hours is kinda hard sometimes. 4) TOO MANY RULES. 5) FedEX has not entered the 21 century, they still use time cards on paper and old time clocks, use computers and scan badges its easy. 6) No plan of advancing in the company. 7) they lie at orentation. 8) The work enviroment needs to be relaxed since we are putting are body at risk. 9) There is no Purple Promise. 10) Felt like a Slave at work.

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.
