Pros

Excellent brand that gets you in the door with companies you call upon. Also helps to have the FedEx name at your back when you have to prospect for new business. You have the ability to plan your days the way you want around your schedule, so work life balance is great. The relationships you build are great because you're helping people with their business. Competition is usually FedEx vs UPS. Plenty of opportunities if you want to move around in the company.

Cons

Onboarding is really poor. The training you receive is good on a corporate level, but there's so much to learn that it's a 'trial by fire' mentality while learning from your other reps in the area. their plate is full, too, so if you don't have any team players, you could be screwed. It's a general consensus that you don't feel remotely comfortable until at least a year on the job. Expectations of calls per day is not set in stone, but it might come up if you're not performing and consistently closing business. If you thrive off of a team atmosphere and interaction with team members, this is not the job for you. Perform or they won't hesitate to manage you out.

Pros

Plenty of hours, decent hourly wage for labor. Many different shifts available to dovetail with your schedule.

Cons

Abusive environment. Dangerous and unhealthy working conditions. Bad tyrannical management that is constantly looking for new and exciting ways to browbeat and humiliate people into working even harder than they already are. Crappiest place on the planet. Huge gobs of moldy dust caked to the screens of the fans that blow "air" into stifling hot trucks. Ice-cold working conditions in the winter, especially when someone "forgets" to turn on the heat. Dock managers are forced by upper management to always have something to be on the workers about. If it's not "load rate", it's "scan rate". If it's not scan rate it's "cube". If your'e doing everything really well they'll send you back to "Load Academy" just to embarrass you into trying to work harder. You get out every shift and can barely walk and then stand in a long line like livestock waiting to be patted-down by Security before you're allowed to leave. I quit last night and it was better than sex.

Pros

Gets you away from home is the only plus. I really can't think of one good reason to work for this number hungary company today. When you raise goals every year you eventually peak out. Something the company does not realize. They raise the goal numbers so high you have to speed and cheat just to do average at best on your review. FEDEX KEYWORDS THIS ROUND... VOTE UNION soon

Cons

Company is on a 10+ year vinge on taking away, jumpseat,health benefits (Pension/401K contributions) and making us pay more for health care and get less coverage, the list goes on and gets loinger by the day. Im making less now than i was when i started with them if you do FEDEX math
