Middle Management Issues not addressed

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has a great mission and well-known brand, I was proud to work for it. Many people work their whole life there, especially people at the stations work very hard. Some nice things done, like holiday lunches served by executives.

Cons

Problems in middle management not resolved (blind eye turned). People slow down and work less and less the more they stay in the same company. Professionalism and accountability not always there and this problem is not addressed. Their annual management feedback process is a big sham and employees that provide actual feedback are then bullied by the managers.

I actually enjoy my job

Pros

No micro managing, if you do your job correctly there are very few times you will ever hear more than hello from a manager. I meet lots of new people via my route. Great benefits and starting pay (even thou Arkansas is one of the lowest paying fedex states). A non desk job that doesn't break yout back, it is fast paced on most routes but not labor intensive. The extra perks rock, discounts on plane tickets, computers, vacations and more. I never have to take my work home with me and I know I have job security. I know i have the oppurtunity fot advancement and most managers start at 65k plus a year. Final pro is in another 5 years I'll be making 55-60k a year via 40-43 hour work weeks. I will stay with fedex for 20 plus years.

Cons

Stations vary across the country from what I'm told but I have found that little to no information is given to you about benefits etc. unless you get them yourself. Seniority gets you what you want, new comers are bottom of the food chain unless you really shine. It is very very hard to get full time status when you start. This will usually take 7-9 months unless your lucky. Another con is that arkansas has some of the lowest paid couriers in the country, Texas which is only a state or 2 away usually pays $4-6 more an hour for the same positions regardless of cost of living.

Could be great, but too many old heads at the helm

Pros

Great benefits, good pay, decent bonus, excellent resume booster.

Cons

Extremely antiquated systems (I mean, they don't even teach the programming language anymore), tenure is valued over innovation, too many in leadership who refuse to retire which creates a bottleneck for younger people who want to grow with the company. There is a reason that millennials and generation X'ers are exiting the company en masse; look at the root cause and DO something to address it.
