FedEx Operations Manager reviews

Politics when it comes to promotions some times Nonexistent work/life balance in November and December Pay could be better contractor legal issues/lawsuits Not enough career advancement opportunities

Micro managed to the Nth degree. Packages per hour, stops per hour, tracking not only every stop a courier makes,but gaps in time- one hour vs half hour lunch. And that is nothing! Prepare to put in a 12 hour day and get calls all hours of the day and night from employees for call offs and personal problems. If you are not a member of the "boys club" you will not be in the circle of those promoted. Got a number of call offs- get ready to cover for every missing employee. Jump in the can and unload those packages! Get in those trucks and deliver packages- or make pickups. Hey, don't forget the office work you need to get done, even though you are on the road-no excuses! Late freight, so meet your couriers on the road and pray they give you a service disruption. Oh, and God forbid you get a sick relative. My mother was in the hospital and told she had cancer, but our managing director said "I can't let you take any time off- you are a MANAGER" and this even though I was DUE vacation...this was in April and our fiscal year ended June 1. I bled purple until the bruises I had out numbered my pain threshold.
