Not for the faint of heart, the weak willed, and the forgetful. Great pay for a reason: you must be the best. - Transportation Planner FedEx Freight Employee Review

Pros

great challenges to tackle, you can make a great impact to operations if you have the intelligence, focus, and determination to do so. Managers have been decent, some issues with empathy, but that is more from HR blanket rules on treatment, rather than manager not wanting to help. Be warned:, it may seem casual as heck, It is a politically correct world, watch yourself. The SR managers were always very intelligent and willing to hear what you had to say. Stay away from the MD.

Cons

Shifts will strongly impact job/life balance, unless you are single without kids. if you are, you are golden. If you aren't, consider very carefully the impact that if will have on your significant other, and yourself. Job opportunities are scarce, even internally, as valued positions are given to proven-valuable employees, and kept for the long term. There are a lot of Grey areas, expect to make your own decisions, and if asked about why you did so (a week or more later) be prepared to give a good reason why. Must be able to remember complex policy, think on your feet, have complex and efficient multitasking skills, and work fast. In summary: remember everything, work as fast as possible, and make zero mistakes. no problem, right?

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
