Hi
Are you hiring?

Funny story @ #FedEx
Some redneck tried to ship full dead deer carcass. Not frozen or dry ice, not dressed or skinned. After couple days of transit to 8o2 it stank, flies everywhere, leaking fluids, use imagination.

What I loved working at #FedExExpress
Everything! The independence, my co-workers my immediat management, the pay , the hours..

The best benefit at #FedEx was definitely...
It WAS being able to work overtime hours and given special treatment for hard work at the Carol Stream, IL. All they want is average work they meets their criteria. Unless you live close,or want few hours for hard work, don't come here.

Favorite story @ #FedEx
When I train employees I tell them," I'm 47 years old, handicapped, and missing two muscles in my left leg. All you need to do is keep up with me." After a month of Nick being there, I went in his trailer to help him out and show him my technique. I was putting 12 packages on to his one when I gave him my speech. He responded,"I don't think I can." Great employee, great person and a great memory I will always remember.

A LOL moment at #FedEx
Being told to slow down. The building needs an overhaul to handle the volume, and the sensors shut the belts down if you put the packages back to back with each other.

My advice to people interested in working at #FedEx as a #PackageHandler ...
Don't go to the Carol Stream, IL location until September or later. Hours have been cut severely. Expect day/midnight shifts to only have a hour/hour and a half of work per day Wed-Fri. A lot of work has been moved to Niles.

The best thing I learned from my job was...
It’s physical! Fedex will train you to drive the vehicles and improve your comfort level with the trucks. Benefits are pretty good, the job is all about service to time commitments, but overall safety to the driver is priority one. The pay, not so great. Without a secondary income from a partner or parent, there’s no way. FedEx executives and upper(senior mangers and on up)managers take all the profit, the face of the company(couriers&counter personnel) gets all the blame, demand, and anger. They have yet to adjust their pay to a livable wage for the markets that the couriers serve. My current station is short staffed by 15-20 people, the last job fair only drew 5 people. With the global trade economy slumping and Fedex expecting a near 2 billion dollar shortfall. I don’t see Fedex making it another 10years.

They took me back
I decided to go work for FedEx again. I was there back in 2009 and a lot has changed, but I am happy to be back here. Just have to learn the ropes again and hoping I learn quick.

I would love to work for Fedex
