Pros

If you are a solid performer, FedEx will take care of you. You will likely advance to a manager level fairly quickly. You'll get the awards, recognition, salary adjustments etc. Then....you're kind of done for a while. See Cons -

Cons

You'll sit in that manager level position for a LONG time. You'll be told you are director material, VP material etc, but those positions don't open. People stay in them (why would they leave...good pay, good benefits, not a lot of stress at that level at FedEx, and we never fire anybody). Down side is that they don't open for others who did not necessarily grow up with FedEx, so you hit a wall.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
