Vantaggi
Higher than average entry level pay for the area (~$19/hr, vs $15-16/hr elsewhere) Significant possibility of overtime pay
Svantaggi
Unpredictable and often long hours due to changing demand and constant worker churn-through. Highly physically demanding labor, involving handling packages up to 150 lbs (and occasionally 200 or more lbs when clients don't adhere to weight limits), only for physically capable adults and is probably detrimental to long-term health. -Lown safety standards. FedEx contracts to multiple subcontractors to incentivise competition, and pays them the absolute minimum, with the end result being that worker pay and employee safety are sacrificed, and contractors which attempt to adhere to safety practices or compensate workers fairly are driven out of business. I've heard stories of about one FedEx contractor imploding per year. -Potential dangers due to old and poorly maintained equipment. Trucks are poorly maintained across the company and there is real risk of break-down.
