Pros

The only pros are the pay and benefits. Top out pay for City drivers is $22.30. We have a small pension in addition to the 401k. Health insurance is crazy expensive but that is with everybody these days.

Cons

Micromanaged to the point that nobody has the ability to make a decision. Not the driver that has the problem, not the dispatcher, not the operations supervisor, not the terminal manager. A simple issue must go all the way up the ladder and of course by the time it gets there our competitors have picked up the freight. Every level of management is afraid of the level above themselves creating an atmosphere of distrust and nobody willing to take a stand. The company does not trust its people. Fedex spends so much money on the hiring process and education that one would think we would be given the opportunity to use our own skills and judgement to best perform the job at hand, instead we are shackelled and treated like incompetent children.

Pros

Good pay ,benefits ,and people. Can move up/on to other positions. Education reimbursement too

Cons

Heavier boxes ,also awkward sizes that are large! Then step up into truck with those heavy n awkward boxes.12 hr days, not 10 as posted in job application box. Supposedly contracting out soon so be careful if choose this job.cant follow procedures for truck loading safety bc in reality it’s that’s not how it’s done on trucks bc everyday is a rush (they say it isn’t though)
