I been working there for a while now and I developed at a fast rate and now I’m super comfortable to be there everyday to serve the purple promise and the people are also a huge help, experience is always their to learn and I like the whole idea of fedex in general
Pros
Development and great benefits
Cons
Not a lot of hours
Business was safety, people, and service-driven in that order. Opportunities for advancement from front line staff to executive management was ample. People worked together well to achieve and execute on desired goals.
Worked there for over a year and got lied to and pushed for a promotion back down to a loader for no reason when asked. Very sexest and discriminatory. They use employees and feed them lies about moving up in the company. Not worth working there long term..you will NEVER get full time
DISCLAMER** FedEx Ground is not FedEx.. if you want to work for actual FedEx work for Express or Freight
Fed Ground is the privatized side of Fedex, you can own a group of routes and collect a cheque from the pickups and deliveries a (Contractor) or be a (Driver) for the person who owns the route and they pay you what they want not what your worth normally a set Salary with no chance of moving forward unless you are on a personal level with the Contractor

First off, I have worked in the past as a factory worker, management, office worker and supervisor, all of which were very similar jobs/duties as there are at FedEx so I am familiar with how this type of business should be operating.
The hours usually only last from 3-4 hours, on a good day. Not anything you can live on by any means. The workload among the employees is unequally distributed. They have workers doing very basic jobs that are getting paid the same as someone who works crazy hard for the whole shift. i e. someone pushing a box all shift while someone else may be unloading a trailer consisting of packages over 75+ for the whole shift.
There is no "taking turns" or switching duties so you don't get run down or hurt from the amount/weight of packages you may be dealing with. The better worker you are, the more work they give you.
There is a lot of gossip and drama within the location. Much of which is based on how people treat each other and the favouritism that goes on.
They state there is advancement, but this is totally untrue. Once positions open up in the office, management, etc... it would be given to a manger's "friend" or someone who hasn't complained or brought up any issues regarding the company. They don't like intelligent people who have things to say about operations. Only focused on the business rather than the employees well being. Look at the turnover rate and you can probably see why they are always hiring handlers, no one wants to stick around.
The worst part was the management there, or lack off. From experience and from fellow workers, - more...

My time at Fedex was short. Loading the truck was stressful and difficult for only one person and somewhat dangerous at times. Perhaps if I worked in another department I would have a better reveiw.
Pros
Salary potential is good
Cons
Not safe depending what position you hold.
Great environment to work at. Building team work skills and physical abilities. Some days are hard due to volume of online shopping however with a good team we pull through.
If you are a hard worker, you will be rewarded with the expectation that you will pick up the slack for everyone else. If you slack off, dont even worry about it, no one will ever say anything and everyone else will do your job for you. Management is scared to say anything to anyone and they just want you to keep working yourself to death. Its honestly not worth waking up at that time in the morning for sometimes less then 3 hrs pay. Opportunities came up for advancment and they came around telling everyone to apply but found out after they had already decided who was getting the jobs before the postings even came out. They advance their favorites instead of the most qualified...hence the poor management. A lot of people came to work under the influence of drugs or alchohol but management just turns a blind eye when its brought to their attention. The benefits after 3 months are good, pay is ok.
Good pay and great benefits. Staff have their own little groups. Management is always just paying attention to how fast staff is going. Never worried about safety. Management is so lacking it’s unbelievable. They also show favouritism to a few. No matter how hard you work don’t expect to be recognized or to advance.
As a FedEx ground courier you work for contractor who pushes you hard to make more money really for themselves They dont really care about theirdrivers Only good thing about the job is the customers and knowing your doing good for the public
Pros
Independent work throughout day
Cons
Too busy and feel rushed all day
A typical day at FedEx ground is loading and off leading trucks organizing packages in the trucks interacting with contractors flexing packages to other trucks.
Good place to work great opportunity good co work good business what you learn and worplace culture the most enjoyable part of job is team they have good benefit also
FedEx is a great place to work IF you are a FedEx employee. They can honestly do no wrong. I feel for the drivers because they don't work for FedEx and are treated very poorly by FedEx management and their contractor bosses. They are over worked and under paid. You are paid well above minimum wage but typically you only work 2 to 2.5 hours everyday. You can move up however it takes time and it's still only part time. Over all I would recommend working at FedEx but for anyone debating about driving DONT.
