Pros

Company culture is great, very positive towards customers and employees. We're all in it together. The old "absolutely, positively" ethic is still alive at FedEx. Cost of living is low compared to pay for the Memphis area locations. Benefits are good, especially work life balance. My manager always says, "Work to live, don't live to work." FedEx is one of the largest shipping companies in the world, so we get to work on some of the largest, most interesting business challenges in the world.

Cons

FedEx (and its divisions) are a very large, mature company. Bureaucracy is the norm for large companies. It is easy to get lost in the masses. Advancement opportunities can be hard to find in many parts of the corp, unless you have a senior manager champion who wants you promoted. There is an entrenched good-old-boy network which can be hard to crack. Look out if/when Fred Smith retires.

Pros

The Culture, - People, Service Profit I started working for Fedex while in college, I received full benefits working part time, and was re-cruited into the sales force. That was about 8 years ago, I have grown both personally and professionaly because of the wonderful collegues and leadership and I feel very lucky. Even during hard economic times, FedEx still has a no lay off policy, and really focus on the best for there employees and our customers. I am very proud to tell people where I work.

Cons

Pay is not as competitive in other sales positions, other collegues have been able to move on to other sales positions within the transportation industry for much more money, although things are always changing at FedEx, I feel the lifestyle of working for such a company out wieghts the extra money.

Pros

They say we will never be laid off, so job security is good. But they are also not hiring so... Good benefits and they do seem to honestly care about you and how you feel and work. Very good people too work with both in the lower levels and in Management.

Cons

Rather tedious work, very little variation. Also at time feeling of not really being able to help the customers as much as you would like. Which can make the job very stressful at times. You know you will be taking the same kind of calls 8hrs a day 5days a week with very little variety or change in routine.
