Politically charged work environment operated by a clique that can't manage change - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij FedEx Custom Critical

As a salaried professional, everyone that you will interact with operates with an agenda. A majority of the individuals in professional and management roles have been with the company for more than 10 years and are in the "clique". Many of these people haven't worked anywhere else in their professional career and have a difficult time accepting new ideas or working with people that have different backgrounds. The clique isn't even accepting of FedEx employees from other operating companies! Some other items to consider: -promotions are a popularity contest (lots of tapping on the shoulder moves) -once robust bonus program quickly becoming non-existent, raises are hard to come by -Medical and dental benefits are not good, very few dentists accept the insurance and the medical doesn't cover much -depending on your level of role, it's likely you won't get to use all your vacation time -work/life balance, if you're not in the clique, plan on living here, as their work rolls down to you -Meetings-way too many that never start on time, run over and/or never accomplish anything. Ultimately the biggest time waster of one's day -parking lot is an icy mess in the winter -location in general is not convenient, not a lot of things (shopping, restaurants) nearby -project work that ends up going nowhere, either you don't have time to get it done or management changes their mind after the work is completed -recognition is hard to come by -many salaried individuals are performing the jobs of two people and management has made it well known that they have no plans of adding additional staff -most job openings that are posted are replacing people that have moved to other operating companies or have left all together If you want to work for FedEx, consider one of the other operating companies that isn't so small with small ideas.
