    Default FedEx

    Anyone here work for FedEx? I'm looking to apply and just wondering what their work environment is like. Hours, pay, benefits, vehicle etc. I'll be applying in the new year for a courier position, if I do I might as well do what I know best, deliver! haha

    I am also considering an entry level position in a company but I would probably have to dress up and the pay would most likely be less. I rather look like a bum and deliver parcels and be nobody's bitch haha

    I know people who work at Fedex. Nothing but great stories and praise. Even part-timers get full benefits there.

    My friend carried packages from one area to another area....sounded pretty good!

    Plus you get a good discount on shipping so if you sell stuff online you can make quite a bit there.

    Haha, they are nuts!

    Pisses me off though when they have no change. Once I had to pay 9.00 for something and I just gave him a 20.. He came back the next day to give me the change though
    I know you don't smoke weed. I know this. But I'm gonna git you high today. 'cause it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do!

    I'd love to work at a coffee shop.. IMO one of the best jobs you can get.. get to meet tons of people, you get free coffee and you'll be a master latte maker.

    i dont think they take cash anymore as we had a couple of drivers get capped for their cash. We dont accept cash, I also heard Fedex is a wicked company to work for but i can t go there as they dont accept other couriers from other companies dammit. No union, work good get good raises, great equipment and they dont have to work as hard as the rest of the companies. I wish canadian companies treated their employees as well as american one do. (dont go ups they work them to the ground) Loomis gets crazy cash as owner operator, I know a guy who makes $120 000 a year as a courier with loomis, he owns his own truck and delivers but starts at 5 am to 6 pm mon to fri. Purolator isnt bad i get around $21.00 an hour and %75 off shipping in canada with around 50 hours a week mon to fri. Top rate after 2 yrs and full benefits we are prolly hiring right now as itis christmas so hurry if ya cant get with fedex try us. I also get 3 weeks paid vacation a year plus we are all getting raises this year so hurry.

    i worked for fed-ex. Did the night job there, wasn't too great wasn't so bad. But when i smashed up my car in januarry last year and told them i couldn't get a ride to work and i wasn't gonig to take a cab they said well we'll have to let you go then. They give you and extra dollar for every hour worked after 4 months. Its supposed to goto your education but most just drank it away.
