FedEx reviews

TOO MANY FORMS!! It seems like there are four hundred forms to fill out every time you want to make a change to your employee account, or your benefits, or your schedule. Nothing is easy. There are also rampant conerns about acquisitions and the opportunities afforded by them. Too many chiefs and not enough indians it would seem like.

There are a lot of "old guard" employees left at FedEx. The same benefit that FedEx has in providing a safe haven for its employees, also leads to a bit of a downfall in unqualified workers. In the IT arena where I work, there are many folks still on the job, whether having moved to a new department or not, whose time had come many years ago. Unfortunately, it seems neither they nor management has seen it that way. It leads to discourse in some of the younger and hungrier employees who share the same titles as the older ones, but end up performing most of the work. These "old-timers", whose vacation times now exceed 5 weeks in some cases, come and go as they please, and are allowed to reap the same benefits and titles as those of us with much more aptitude for the job. This can be very discouraging and cause a lot of qualified folks to turn away from working at FedEx.
