Pros

Its a great job to keep you in good physical shape but it will eventually take its toll on your body after a few years. You get to be outside and deal with mostly nice customers. Day goes by fast because your are constantly busy.

Cons

Will take physical toll on your body. If you are a BC then you work pretty much 24/7 because one wrong step and you with have your contract threatened by FedEx management. Packages are getting bigger and bigger and are making the routes less efficient every day.

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.
