Very good and stable company

Pros

Upper management has worked their way up through the ranks so they really care about the company. ABF cares deeply about their employees and expectations are very realistic for sales. The company is excellent about not micro managing their employees and allows sales to run their territory like its their own business.

Cons

ABF's union structure makes it the highest cost carrier in the industry. This costs the company business because it cannot compete price wise on certain deals. Some of the people in the corporate office are out of touch with what takes place in the field. ABF has a very strict market based pricing structure and mandates competitive documentation to get pricing for customers. This can be a very frustrating obstacles for sales.

Pros

were semi realistic of number of sales calls, sticking to more quality

Cons

wouldn't remove very bad, unhealthy attitudes and let old timers bully others around. no team atmosphere whatsoever. VERY conservative. office personnel had NO idea what outside sales meant and told leadership they didn't think employees were working because they weren't in the office. notice the word OUTSIDE in the title OUTSIDE sales. It's a relationship business. trucking is trucking. all companies lose freight, bill incorrectly from time to time and are late. end of story.
