The people are very nice and open to helping new hires all the time. I have gotten great advice from my mentor and upper management on how to deal with difficult situations in my job. I am given the responsibilities of an engineer and not a data entry job.

What I wish was different

I wish i was in the office, I don't like remote work as much as I thought I would

Advice

Be willing to ask questions and don't worry about looking dumb or inexperienced, the current employees know you are new

Safety Intern

May - August 2019 • Coraopolis, PA

What I liked

I enjoyed being able to apply what I learned at IUP to this internship experience. I also enjoyed the opportunity for professional growth and development, as well as the networking opportunities.

What I wish was different

I wish it was longer. I wasn’t ready to leave when the summer came to an end.

Advice

Do not be afraid to put yourself out there. Although I was much younger than many of my peers at the site, I had a lot to bring to the table. They taught me a lot, but I taught them a lot as well.

Package Handler

June - August 2019 • Fort Worth, TX

I like how the job was challenging but also pretty simple. It taught me how to love at an efficient speed to keep up with how fast the packages were coming. The job was fun and it taught me a lot of fast efficient work skills.

I wish there would have been air conditioning in the warehouse because it was extremely hot and sometimes it slowed me down.

Advice

Be ready to work extremely hard working at Fedex Ground. I wish I could’ve worked there during school but I knew my course load would’ve been too heavy to juggle.

Fedex is always hiring, doesn't require experience, has good pay, and will often accept people for short periods of time, making it an ideal summer job or temporary day-job. They also offer night shifts.

Package Handler

March 2019 • Bloomington, CA

What I liked

I like how FedEx was able to offer me a schedule in which I work weekends only for 8hrs. This is great because it gives me room to focus in school and take classes without having to change my work schedule either.

What I wish was different

I do wish that I was better trained when I first started.

Advice

I suggest anyone in school who's 18+ and wishes to work part time just to earn money or experience through work, that they should apply to FedEx and work on the weekends. FedEx also has a tuition back in which they will pay you back a certain amount for school courses or materials.
