Just wanted to let you Canadians know it sucks in the U.S. too. I worked at a Fedex office store in America. We accepted packages and ran alot of print jobs. I think FedEx is a horrible company to work for. They only care about their profit margins and thats the bottom line. They consistently keep their stores under staffed so they don't have to pay as much. If you work in the evenings better be...

Horrible place to work. Your better off at mc Ds no joke. Bosses are all *** ***** and will only come see you when somethings wrong. I wonder why everyone throws everything in the warehouses and I do mean everything;) ay look at that 50 inch tv go lol

Really a sad place to be. My opinion and experience is that employees are great stepping stones for senior managers. Don't try to change anything ... just take the cheque and you will be fine. Yuch!

Generally good pay, average benefits. Extremely top down management which is not particularily proactive. Very bottom line driven, more so as each year passes. Very good public image.

Modern day slavery......

Current employees have been directed to increase reviews. The company places great pride in the Hewitt survey which this organization responds to after filtering responses to ensure a high score. Employees trying to change the culture for the good of all are referred to as whiners and put on what the company calls an exit strategy. Exercise caution ... if you're a politician you can do well...

I have worked for FedEx for over 22 years and I think the company does a very good job in taking care of it's employees.

This company is all about SMOKE,MIRRORS,and HYPOCRISY...the only time we hear any feedback is when we've made errors.

My local management "team" is more than a little inept and are propped up by a solitary keen figure that makes things happen....I really don't know how they keep they're jobs...Our workforce has changed over by at least 35% in recent years and that NEVER used to happen...SPEAKS...

I really enjoyed working for FedEx (Ground). Due to conflict with my University studies, and being short staffed, I was being over-worked and the lack of sleep was conflicting with my school. I originally started out as a package handler and then moved on to being the head of the customs department. I thought management was really good. I had some of the best managers I have had in my working...

Company that claims to do everything right, but doesn't.

Just sugar coats everything.

Started part time nights, and through hard work and education am now in a professional level position. Great company.

Excellent team attitude, good management, an excellent employer.

No matter what company you work for in any place you will find employees that complain because of their inability to move forward, and/or general negative attitude.

Perhaps this sounds a bit idealistic, however, if you don't like your job and feel that FedEx or any other company is such a terrible place to work then leave. Pretty simple, no?

I worked at the call center in Richmond, B.C. and it was the worst decision I have ever made.The management team is all run by office politics as the senior manager of the call center is not qualified to do his job and promotes a culture of backstabbing to make himself look better. They treat everyone like children and give jello and pens and crackers as they believe that this will motivate staff...

I worked for this company for nearly six years. Their corporate philosophy of "people service profit" is non existent.

The executive management is talented. It is the middle management that is lacking. Too many cooks in the kitchen as the saying goes.

The salary is decent. They need an overhaul of their HR department. The front line staff (drivers, customer service, handlers) are what...

The company in a whole is great! The problem is some of the people that are in leadership or shall I say lack of are in. Some people in management abuse their power and use it for getting back at people. You can advance with the company if you are willing to put in the time and effort and make the change. If you are out spoken though it is frowned upon. For a company that asks for employee...

Fedex is a great company to work for! I have worked here for quite some time, and I have been treated great! The manager's are amazing, I couldn't ask for better manager's! The other employee's are great too - real people! They offer really good benefit's, and what makes it better is that Edmonton has a brand new station that is HUGE!! Huge office, lots of room for the trucks, big lunch...

Simply, not a good place to work anymore!!!

A sad political quagmire where Senior Management is solely concerned with self promotion. Turnover is increasing. Most new employees are lured in by rhetoric but learn they have been duped within a few short months. They are seemingly unconcerned by the growing discontent amongst management and front line employees. Beneath a well promoted veneer of promises and valueless window-dressing lies...

FedEx Canada is a great job if you have no other options.

Cons:

- Whether you work there for 5-10-15-20-25 years, odds are you will be doing the same job. Even when you stay, it takes a looooong time to move up. Its all about seniority, and unless someone dies/retires/transfers, you dont move up usually.

- Extra for students - One of the things that made me leave is that there is no...

When you reach 65 and continue working and doing the same job benefits are cut ie dependance life insurance,employee life insurance cut also sick benefits are cut .This company claimes to care but they do not

FedEx, now is worst place to work. They now believe in Profit servce more profit. Totally ugly now! needs serious management change done, seems going down worst every day. Origianl HR management has all moved out and now, hired burnt outs from other companies.

The problem with this company is that once you are hired, you hit a ceiling very quickly. There is no advancement, unless you leave the company. I was originally hired to do call kinds of sophisticated analysis but the demand for it has virtually dried up. I ask myself everyday, "Why am I still here"?

someone who has been at the company for 15 isn't earning what the company is willing to pay (maxed out) that just tells the employee the aren't competent in their job.

I knew they had planes.. But they really are a FLY BY NIGHT operation in Canada. FEDEX Freight have to be the worst employer there is. Second rate company Watkins that got bought by FedEx and now they all think they are a somebody. It will only be a matter of time before Fred Smith realizes that when he bought Watkins it was a dog with fleas. Time for a house cleaning Fred!!!!

I work at FedEx Calgary and I am basically happy there. Our Managers are overworked though and have too much on their plates. Our workers are stressed because only half work hard and the other half don't care. I wish the team worked more as one but there is some infighting between departments. I like the "little things" like free coffee, tea, etc...nice staff lunch room. As for a future and a...

FEDEX does not care for their employees contrary to their philosophy. I have been working for 17 yrs and realised it has been the biggest mistake ever made. Their is no compassion for workers that are injured on the job, at that point forces person to quit . I'm sure there are alot of disgruntled employees out there that have been bullied (forced to quit )or downgrade positions due to legal on...

I have been with FedEx for almost a year and I have to say I will never leave. They do recognize hard work and reward their employees constantly. The people I work with are also amazing and would not want to work anywhere else.

There is also lots of opportunity for advancement. Since I have been with the company, I have passed up and least 10 job openings because I am happy doing what I am doing...

FedEx Canada is a horrible place to work... its like a sieve that let's the good people go and is left with the bad people... its full of politics... and the reason is all its Directors and VPs have only that skill (also very poorly educated) and nothing else...The Canadian division is very profitable... makes ~20 - 25% net profit margin. This means that the management is not under scrutiny for...

I am a 19 year employee of Fedex Canada and I can honestly say it is NOTHING like it once was.Too much office politics. You are your employee number now...and little else. Very sad

office politics

This is not the company I started with back when we were able to think for ourselves company has forgotten its employees and uses only best practices and a heavier workload.what a shame.decisions should start from the bottom up not the top down.

I have been with FedEx for 5 years. What it lacks is good senior leadership. I completely agree that in Canada its a shadow of the great US company and one of the worst places to work for. It's senior mgmt team of David, Lisa, Pina, Peter, Sean and Nick don't have a vision or the ability to execute. Its unable to retain its best people and there is a lot of turnover. The place is like cancer and...

Fedex at Vancouver Airport is one of those those employers that says it, but doesn't mean it. The company embraces diversity, alright - but only at levels below management. Warehouse employees such as cargo handlers are mostly Filipino and Chinese, and African-American, while all managers are Caucasians over the age of thirty. Seeing that in contrast to the mostly of-colour warehouse workforce,...

Fedex in Canada needs to ''walk the talk''. Management is clearly overworked and little solutions are made to fix the problem. It is much easier to say that there is no problem. In general this is a great company to work for but several major issues need to be adressed. Decision making is centralised in toronto and we are very slow and conservative in making significant changes to improve.

FedEx in Canada is a shadow of the great company that it is in the US. The main issue in Canada is bureaucracy with the centralization of decision mostly in the Toronto head office with little regard for regional differences. Turnover is starting to be more frequent specially in the managerial and proffessional ranks and is a sign of times to come.

FedEx does not care about its employees nearly as much as it claims. Turnover is alarming and managers are over-worked. Rewards and recognition is rare for the average employee.

FEDEX is a great company that is the leader of the industry.

I am interested in how FedEx Calgary will be rated.
