Pros

Easy for me to pick up hours. Co-workers were great. My managers were amazing. People were nice to me. Vending machines were nice. Attendance was important, but management was understanding of my absences.

Cons

It can be rough as packages can be over 100 lbs, and you might not be able to get any help carrying those. It can be freezing, even windy, inside, but at least we get hand warmers. Some drivers are unpleasant to work with. High turnover rate: I'm pretty sure I've seen over 50 people hired who left within a few weeks, and I've been there for only a few months. For vans, the distribution of packages can be stupid; there's no reason for all of the packages to be on one side of the truck. Bathrooms also suck, the sinks in there work like a watering pail with three holes lol.

Pros

Good consistency in pay, caring bosses, solid yearly raises, consistent/regular routes, not a lot of floating between routes after gaining minimal seniority. I was given a route to myself after only 5 months of work, even before then I was usually given that route with minimal floating to other routes for the day. I have loved working here. So much consistency and you are just basically driving all day, bringing cool people their packages (my route is a mix between in town and countryside). I highly recommend this company through a contractor, working for FedEx corporate/Express has mixed reviews. Not much micromanaging at all from my contractor.

Cons

Contracts between third-party and FedEx corporate are not always great or reasonable financially leading to occasional and temporary surprise increases in workload due to contracts with companies like Walmart, Costco, Amazon without much increase in base pay as a result, although contractors do compensate their drivers out of their profits. It would be nice if they received more from the third-parties as a result. The trucks take a beating but they do pretty well with what we give them, they still stay comfortably drivable and contractors are always ready to repair them. Sometimes the trucks struggle with A/C, not critically but still not always crispy and not extremely comfortable in mid-western heat.
