Pluspunten

Although it's not what it used to be before the company became so enormous, the culture here is generally very good. People are friendly, teams generally work well together and upper management works hard to reinforce the importance of collaboration and team spirit. Pays very well for Memphis--- it's so cheap to live here that you can buy a house on pretty much any salaried position. World HQ is a pretty campus next to a golf course with trees, a lake, a walking trail, big cafeteria overlooking the golf course, and a fitness center. Employees receive discounts on shipping and with certain companies like Dell and AT&T. Health benefits are competitive, there's a 401K, and there is still a lump-sum pension benefit as of 2014.

Minpunten

FedEx is actually not just a single company--- it's a group of operating companies that "operate independently, compete collectively". Despite efforts to overcome it, there is still a tendency toward "silos" and being territorial at all levels. Having personnel headquarters in Memphis has become an increasing liability since it is a decaying city with a lot of crime, ineffective leadership, high property and sales tax rates, terrible traffic and failing public schools. The great majority of employees are here because they're either from here or they have ties here (family nearby, etc), they are careful about where they buy a home, and they are willing to fork over the money to send their kids to private schools. This could be a good place for a young, childless person, especially someone interested in the arts, to put in two or three years but overall, this is not a particularly innovative or nimble company; there's a lot of "this is how we've always done it".

Pluspunten

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Minpunten

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
