Hard Work
Package Handler (Volt alkalmazott) – Sterling, VA – 2016, július 8.
Working in a warehouse environment with extremely physical work that has to be done quickly to get mail to customers. Not much compensation and mostly part-time work. There is some opportunity for advancement, but it is difficult to advance unless you are willing to relocate. Good for a part-time job if you have other sources of income.

Operations Manager (Volt alkalmazott) – Martinsburg, WV – 2019, április 17.
A typical day at work involved looking at the planned and forecasted volume and making staffing decisions based off of the plan. Intense environment, but potential for development and advancement is high.
Best Job I've Ever Had!
Road Driver (Jelenlegi alkalmazott) – Saint Clairsville, OH – 2019, április 17.
Mutual Respect is the cornerstone of this great company...supervisors being overly assertive and disrespectful to drivers is not tolerated. The CEO and all managers in the entire company flowchart realize drivers are the lifeblood of Fedex being a well respected leader in their industry and treat them with the dignity and respect they've earned to be part of the Fedex team.

Package Handler (Volt alkalmazott) – Beltsville, MD – 2019, április 16.
Working at Fedex is a very fast paced job where you are evaluated by performance with varying work loads compared to others. The management is required to reach a specific quota per day so some days you may have to work faster or help with other coworkers if needed. The management is a bit disorganized and you may get sent to different sessions depending if you are needed there. A typical day at work involves signing in at a required time, hearing the quota for the day, getting scanners ready, and working with coworkers to achieve the task. The workplace culture strives for safety but coworkers may get frustrated and adversely affect the environment. The most enjoyable part of the job is getting the work done early and having a small break in between. Typically, workers are required to stack packages along a conveyor belt and load them into a truck in a symmetrical fashion. I learned how to be efficient and mange tasks effectively in a given amount of time which is a good skill to have.

its a fun place to work because its competitive place and a fast place work. the hardest part of the job is when there is a lot of packages coming in and it could get a little hectic. the most enjoyable part of the job is having a team member help you when you need it.

Distribution and Driver Supervisor (Volt alkalmazott) – Norcross, GA – 2019, április 16.
FedEx Ground is a terrible company to work for you may want to do you research on them before you apply to them. For the work their employees/drivers do there's no reason they shouldn't offer their employees benefits, overtime, 401k, or at least a small benefit plan. Someone in corporate should really consider making sure that everyone is taken care of and not just the contractors. I had to leave the company because contractors started shortening my checks and making excuses for why they couldn't pay me for work that had already been done. That's completely unacceptable and very unorganized company from a big name company like this.
very fast paced hard manual labor
Package Handler (Jelenlegi alkalmazott) – St. Louis, MO – 2019, április 16.
Up too early 4am. hard strenuous lifting. not enough workers, they don't show up for work, and do bare minimum. Management is poor. you don't work enough hours therefore pay is terrible especially for the hard work you do.
not enough hours
Warehouse Associate (Volt alkalmazott) – Independence, KY – 2019, április 16.
They would literally hire way too many people. Even though people quit often but then the people who did stay were not getting hours and then after peak season was over the pay decreased and it just wasn't worth it anymore.
It is a good place to work for

It is loud dusty and dirty but a good place to work for great benefits and time off if you have earned it would be nice if they knew what was going on more

Package Handler (Volt alkalmazott) – Phoenix, AZ – 2019, április 16.
A typical day as a FedEx package handler depends on what position you work in, as it is a blanket title for all employees at a sort facility except for managers and QA. You could be unloading trailers, scanning boxes, manning a sort tower, loading delivery vehicles, or moving NCs, which is the term for anything that is too large or too heavy (75 to 150 pounds) to go on the conveyor belts. Nothing is particularly complicated, though it does take time to get settled in to new positions. It is also quite the workout, though some positions are more physical than others.
Compensation wise, FedEx is okay. The starting pay is decent, but the benefits are great. From the start, you get access to things like discounts from various businesses and tuition reimbursement. After you put in 1000 hours, you also become eligible for their health plan. For reference, I paid about $25/month for a plan that included medical, dental, vision, and mental health. My big complaint here is that it takes so long to become eligible. Since they try to keep shifts to 4 hours or less, it takes a while to reach 1000.
The shifts, themselves, depend on what location you are at. Hubs, supposedly, gave you the option to work full-time and had more shifts to choose from. I, however, worked at a smaller sort facility that was limited to part-time for package handlers and only offered two shifts, early morning (2am start) or night (6pm start). I had other obligations in the evening, so I was limited to mornings. This could be a deal breaker for some as it can be brutal starting at 2am every day, or sometimes több... earlier during peak season.
Now time for my rant on leadership.
Company-wide, there are things that changed about 6 months into my employment that resulted in very poor work conditions. Namely, FedEx established themselves as the go-to for shipping big, heavy packages when UPS raised their prices. This meant that we had a huge influx of NCs and had to somehow get them unloaded and delivered, despite being in a facility that was not built to handle the volume. Certain employees, including myself, were given the burden of dealing exclusively with NCs. Unfortunately, even though the volume increased, we were still expected to get things done in the same amount of time. This meant that safety standards went right out the window. As a team of 2, I was responsible for 3-5 trailers every day, filled entirely with 100+ pound packages while other employees never had to touch a single NC. They even loaded the belly of the trailers with them, which meant that there was no safe way to lift them out and you were putting your back on the line in every single trailer, not to mention that this was supposed to be against company policy.
More specific to my location, the leadership was even worse. If you were any good at your job, you were completely overburdened. During my worst time there, I was expected to do the job of 4 people while the managers consistently demanded that I get things done faster. Lazy/incompetent employees were not fired, they just expected the rest to pick up the slack. In fact, firing practices on the whole seemed completely random. You might have one really good worker uncharacteristically miss a couple days and be fired immediately, and at the same time you'd have other people being allowed to miss multiple days a week or come in more than 30 min late every day. While managers would spend much of the time talking about work safety, they never did anything to actually provide a safe working environment. As a member of the safety committee, I saw countless issues brought up on a monthly basis, and I saw the vast majority of those issues be completely ignored by management until they caused an incident. In one instance, another member of the committee pointed out a cracked wooden support beam in the shelving of a delivery van. The issue went ignored for 2 or 3 months until it broke during a sort, hitting the loader between the eyes, resulting in a broken nose. If you were able to put up with everything and still remain a productive worker, your reward would be absolutely nothing. Recognition was a fantasy. There were always discussions about how it needed to be a higher priority, as many people become unmotivated when their efforts go unrecognized, but nothing ever came of it. In fact, when I left, they were multiple months behind on announcing employee of the month, not that it mattered since most of the people were chosen arbitrarily rather than by performance. All in all, the last 2 years of my employment were a steady decline in management, resulting in a completely demoralized workplace. Due to being overworked and underappreciated, I went from being the friendliest person in the building to working on auto pilot and being supremely angry at everyone and everything.
If you've made it this far, I will leave you with this. FedEx can be a great place to work, as I'm sure that other locations have better leadership. It can be particularly great for those who are looking for part-time work but also want to have benefits. You just have to be on guard against poor/unsafe working conditions, because the physicality of the job could easily lead to serious injury if you're not careful. kevesebb
