Pros

Higher than average entry level pay for the area (~$19/hr, vs $15-16/hr elsewhere) Significant possibility of overtime pay

Cons

Unpredictable and often long hours due to changing demand and constant worker churn-through. Highly physically demanding labor, involving handling packages up to 150 lbs (and occasionally 200 or more lbs when clients don't adhere to weight limits), only for physically capable adults and is probably detrimental to long-term health. -Lown safety standards. FedEx contracts to multiple subcontractors to incentivise competition, and pays them the absolute minimum, with the end result being that worker pay and employee safety are sacrificed, and contractors which attempt to adhere to safety practices or compensate workers fairly are driven out of business. I've heard stories of about one FedEx contractor imploding per year. -Potential dangers due to old and poorly maintained equipment. Trucks are poorly maintained across the company and there is real risk of break-down.

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.
