What is the best part of working at the company?
The ONLY good thing that came from working for this company, was during their holiday raffle and I won a prize. Other than that, nothing.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Work load was constantly inconsistent. 
You were expected to load up your delivery truck, if it was available. 
If you missed some packages that needed to be loaded up, you were expected to return to the warehouse to load them up. 
All packages were loaded on trollies, but not all trollies were where they were supposed to be. So you may have to walk around inside the whole warehouse multiple times just to find them.
You didn't know the route you would be delivering until you got to the warehouse.
You were expected to complete your deliveries, no matter what.
There are no set schedules.
Even if you weren't scheduled to come in, you were constantly "On Call". 
Don't expect to have a peaceful day off, and hope no one calls off, or else someone will come to your house and bang on the door demanding you to cover the shift.
They train you in a specific setting, i.e. Suburban Living, but then you're expected to drive on dirt/gravel roads during a snow storm the next day. 
You aren't given the means to navigate your route if you have to deliver in the middle of nowhere. 
Delivery Trucks are either constantly breaking down, not retrofitted for specific route conditions, or never available, so they provide 7-Seater vans like Chrysler Town & Country.

Poor pay and benefits that are not beneficial considering hours worked. Their navigation app is terrible at times. Management is a joke. Good deal of unmanifested packages to your route do to fedex not scanning them to your route, gotta babysit FedEx. Fedex sorts by route only in Chillicothe so your packages are mixed from front skid to the back. FedEx Chillicothe facility is outdated undersized and poorly designed for delivery drivers production. In other words it has a real work harder not smarter feel. Working for a contractor in delivery service is not a wise choice, ever. Amazon was a much more productive and efficient delivery driver experience and they pay much better, but the benefits there again are not beneficial. If you really want to invest your life as a delivery driver go UPS, or FedEx Express. Don't waste your life giving to these contractors.

There are no complaints. Working for this company has been a good experience. Its helpful, flexible and understanding. My manager is the best manager I've ever had. Its a great team to be apart of! Great pay and flexible schedules. I enjoy working and that It doesn't feel like a job. As a single mother of 5 its hard to find a job that works with my schedule and pays well. Yet, working for Bryan Cowdery/ FedEx I don't have any worries.  With the encouragement from my manager and team it makes the hard days much easier. I can't say that about any of  my previous employers. Everyday may not be simple and easy but there's not one job that is. Even on those complicated days there's no stress and there's always help. The difference between Bryan Cowdery Inc/FedEx  and other employers is stability and that you feel like you're part of a great team!

This company is a complete joke. Management is unhelpful and downright unprofessional. The pay isnt that great but i still tryed to stick it out. I finally had it with being talked to and treated so poorly i just never went back, and of course that was after i tryed to talk with someone else in management about this young guy thats a manager with a poor attitude. It seemed to only make it worse. This has to be the worst experiance with a company iv ever had. Come to find out, most of the people in leadership positions are related or friends. So that explains a lot going on with this place. No amount of money would ever make me want to work for this place again. 

I was very excited about this job I started was there for a week was poorly trained then was fired because of not knowing absolutely everything after 1 week and my trainers doing a pretty bad job. It was not fair to me that I was expected to learn everything in my first week but I had people who were supposed to be “training me” but did a bad job at it I wasn’t even given a chance to go out on a route by myself. It was not fair at all. I would not recommend anyone to work here. Also they have this 21 year old guy as a manager who treats people poorly also. Everyone should be given more than a week to prove that they can learn the roles of the job and do great but they wouldn’t even give me the chance.

The pay is OK, it could be better. Trucks are not great and always needing to be fixed. All in all would've stayed had it not been for the way leadership treats their employees. You get talked down to and management seems to be all related or friends. There's a young manager that has a pretentious and poor attitude towards the staff and is unprofessional. I dreaded going in there and dealing with him. On the bright side the customers were really great and made the job worth it. When I told HR what was going on with the younger manager they did nothing and he only got worse so I left and it was the best decision I could've made. 

I've been working for Bryan for going on 10 years, and this is hands down the best job I've ever had! It's very meaningful work knowing you're helping people receive their necessities. The work is pretty physical but it's basically like having a free gym membership and you're not stuck behind a desk all day.  Once you learn the ropes the job is very simple and easy, and you will receive pay increases if you stick with the job!  The management does their best to try and help every driver so that everybody is happy.  All in all, this is a great company to work for with work that helps you feel accomplished at the end of the day.

The managers are mean to the drivers for no reason. I asked my manager a question about one of the deliveries and he called me and manager a question about one of the deliveries and he called me and chewed me out! JUST FOR ASKING A QUESTION. I asked in the calmest and most professional way. Nothing I said warranted a stern chew out like that. Don't work for this company. Work for another delivery service. Management doesn't respect or listen to it's employees here. 

No work place is perfect, but BCI comes close.  Great management team, very devoted to making sure that everyone is able to be successful.  Driver safety is a priority.  I have been with the company for several years now and short of the dream job of being your own boss and getting paid to do nothing, I can’t think of a better place to work.  Everywhere has problems, but BCI really tries to make your job as easy as possible.

Everything is bad about this place; unbearable workload, low salary, high stress job, no job security. The company functions as a large pyramid scheme. You will never achieve any level of financial comfort or stability and management will lead you along with false hope and fake promises. You are more likely to quit or get fired within 2 years than moving up or growing with the company.
