FedEx

"Be careful. Dot i's and cross t's. Take the work seriously."

"stable work, standard benefits , but there's a lot of workload"

"You will build muscles, a sense of timing, great driving skills, teamwork and the best friends you will ever know. You will be expected to do the same work as a man. You will be paid the same. "

"FedEx will give you a hard time about any and all time off you take for your kids"

"The grass is not always greener on the other side."

"FEDEX values flexibility in alot of their corporate rolls, and is a leader in this field to increase the number of women in senior leadership roles."

"As a courier that deals with medical devices and life saving medication, I would love to see more women as we seem to take time commitments seriously and go above and beyond to complete delivery. It’s intersting work. The pay could be better but the benefits are great."

"Very physical work that keeps you on your feet all day. "

"Very limited promotion opportunities for women and limited developmental opportunities."

"There are women in management, white and black. I have not seen any Asian or Latina women in management, however."

"This employer is a wonderful overall place to work. Great people and culture. Women did have a difficult time moving into management positions, however."

"Good work life balance for the most part. Not as flexible about telecommuting as other companies. Pay is on the lower side. "

"Absolutely employee focused leadership structure that encourages continuous learning, promotes from within, and employees for every job receive training that is second to none."

"It can be a brutal job for a woman, I'm not particularly girly but I get sick of dirt from boxes all over my skin and face and under my nails and how much heavy lifting I have to do every day. If you have any creative desire you will not enjoy this job. "

"Long hours"

"Check if management is what you really want from this company. They do not follow their own mission statement People/Service/Profit...they are only interested in Profit..the more you give them the more they will suck your life away..with NO appreciation. This is predominantly a male environment."

"Most of the employees (including management and upper management ) are men. There are women employed here but I say less than 10% of employees are female. It's a laborious job and does require a lot of frequent, heavy lifting. Men and women will help you lift a package if you need the assistance, but it is a job for a woman that is physically fit or has the desire to be fit. Since I've been working here I've improved my strength significantly. When I first started it was difficult for me to lift 30 pounds above my head, but it was doable. Now I'm lifting 60 pounds, 70 pounds above my head so my strength and stamina has improved, which is great! They are very flexible with vacation, and school. I've received 5 pay raises since I began and now make $2/hour more than when I was hired. They also offer health insurance for part-time employees and full-time (full coverage for both) for $20.00 and depending on your coverage (if you get all dental, vision and health) can be as low as $10/month. They also give college students $1,500/year with grade reports submitted. So they do support education for their employees. There is no dress code, just wear something that isn't too baggy because you could be seriously injured if you wear baggy clothes as a package handler. In the winter it can be brutal because it isn't well heated. Even though there is heat the dock doors are opening and closing often with trucks leaving and coming so be prepared to be cold or spend some money on winter clothes (Carhartt suits are recommended). Other than that it's a great place to work."

"some managers treated women very different than the men coworkers"

"That it's a good company to work for, but if you are minority or women you have a lot of hurdles to jump."

"Unless your age is 21 - 35, or you are a lesbian, I would not recommend working here. There is no promotion of women into management because of the off-shore out-sourcing to India. Even if you confidentially approach management with any issue, you are black-balled. Management has a party line about Living PSP (People, Service, Profit), but their actions and decisions are completely counter to their words."
