It kept me from being at home and in the streets and I was allowed to work how ever long I wanted. For example I could finish my shift and stay for the next shift and work however long I wanted unless it was to many people there than they told people over shift to leave. And I was allowed to do as many over time hours I wanted to

Pros of working at FedEx

The early hours are great. I have the rest of the day to do what I need. My supervisors (Hot Springs, AR) are amazing and down to earth.

Cons of working at FedEx

Low wages. Not 40 hours a week. You have to work 1000 hours to get insurance and that takes about a year.

FedEx benefits

1 hour of PTO for every 20 hours worked. When you do get the insurance I have heard it is really good. I haven't gotten 1000 hours yet, been working there 8 months now.
