One among several reasons I chose UPS over Fedex. Fedex has hired almost 30% of their seniority list since 2015. UPS likes to run lean, way behind hiring, much better opportunity to move up faster. Schedules, lines, all very similar. Yes, Fedex did not furlough (in case anyone is going there), but this is a much different time.
Fedex is a great job and a great company, no doubt whatsoever. It simply a cycle issue.
