I agree with chump 100%. I worked on Ground side for nearly 2.5 years as both a package handler and a service manager. It seems everyone I have talked to, upon hearing that I work for Fedex, say "thats great, aren't they an awesome company?" Maybe in the past, but not now. I worked for both UPS and Fedex, and I really cant say which was better. All this buzz about how big ground is becoming is a lie. Fedex ground has been and always will be the red headed stepchild of the small parcel industry. The company cares little about customer service, and their employees are treated as disposable commodities. Chump is right, both are out for profit, but honestly, when it comes to the end, UPS will come out on top. As for me, I am still in college and could care less about having a career with Fedex. With the way they treat their hourlies (handlers) I couldnt in good conscience stay in my position. I am not bitter however, as I have obtained a higher paying (teamster) job, with which I can actually live off of.
