Pros

Decent pay and nice people.

Cons

The company is run by people who have been there forever and are blind to what the rest of the industry is doing causing ABF to be further and further behind the competition. The best talent at ABF realizes this after a couple years and moves on to greener pastures, leaving the second team management group running the show. As for Inside Sales, avoid this place like the plague. The promise you bonuses, advancement within the company, etc. However, the company is never profitable so you will never see a bonus check. Advancement? Forget about it, the rest of the company thinks inside sales is a joke and good luck moving on to another department unless you are juiced in from the inside.

Pros

Pay well without degree. Team environment. Good benefits. "Wait your turn promotion process." Because of the long hours, really get to know your coworkers. People make the place. Freedom to run your crew with minimal micro management because of the 24 hour operation.

Cons

Teamsters union under the Master Freight Agreement from 1800. Outrageous rules favor union and hard to control with divided management. Zero production standards for employees, yet management is held to production requirements which makes it a challenge to say the least.
