Pros

Process-driven company with a recognized brand. Work life balance is ok.

Cons

So many cons, especially in the last few years after the Founder Mr Smith passed away. The new leadership is extremely US-centric and has penny-wise pound foolish mentality. APAC leadership is terrible and MEISA managers and employees do not use much of their faculties. The trend also is to hire employees in India so the quality is abysmal. The managers are more and more from India. It has become a toxic depressing place. There is no career progression or promotion.

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.
