Pros

So far I have been at fedex for a month and I'm loving it. I was hired as a driver apprentice because I only had 11 months of driving experience I have all endorsement just didn't have a full year of driving but the DDC program is great kinda a slow process waiting on a available coach to train you. I was told I will be catching a flight to Orlando FL next week for 3weeks to ride with a city coach for a week, then a road driver for a week or two. I'm so ready to get this over and get in a truck working the dock sucks but I did it til they figured out where I was going to go train. Even working the dock u still get paid as a driver but it gets old when u use to driving a truck. Overall so far it's a great company. Just waiting on the old drivers to retire at my terminal I swear it's people there should've retired 10 years ago lol! Drivers like 70 years old need to b at home spending all that 401k money and collecting social security.

Cons

Some of the people there are stuck in their ways not friendly, not all but majority of the people who been there decades are the grumpy people. But the shift I'm on which is nights all the supervisor are cool you can go to them for anything.

Pros

This review is for Fedex freight! not express or ground I see so many negative reviews and you find out the employees are working for a contractor with Fedex ground that’s why the reviews are bad! they’re working for a contractor with no benefits and Low pay so please keep that in mind when you read these reviews. FedEx ground and custom critical divisions of Fedex use strictly contractors for package delivery and their linehaul runs, why this is i do not know, but I would say do not work for contractor unless you’re desperate for a job. Get hired on as a company employee with freight or express and you’ll find that Fedex is a great place to work with good pay and benefits, paid vacations and holidays and paid sick time.

Cons

Management where I have worked has been pretty good, not perfect of course but I have found if you do your job they are there to help you, if you’re a slacker and are lazy those of the ones seem to have problems with management, you just have to watch out for those few employees that are back stabbers and Are always negative and try to bring you down no matter the situation. some people just can’t be happy so ignore them if possible. These individuals seem to be more worried about making other people’s lives miserable at work than actually just doing their job and minding their own business.

Pros

This is the by far the best part-time job I have ever had in my life. Starting pay $16.36 an hour. for me, the hours are very flexible for me. 15-25 hour work week, my shift is from 5pm-10pm. I go to school during the day so it works out REALLY well for me. Medical benefits and 401ks for part-time workers? it doesn't get any better than that; for me at least. my job is to move the freight from point "a" to point "b". its not a complicated job but very physical and time restricting, similar to the career field I plan to go into.

Cons

Supervisors don't always have an accurate count of what has already been loaded or bayed. sometimes they give work that has already been done and ill be looking all over the place for this freight.
