Great second job

Casual dock checker

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Only worked a few weeks but so far it's great. This is my second job and I already have a 3rd family, very accepting. Everyone is willing to answer questions or lend a hand. At my other job I am a member of management and take my fair share of customer/ employee complaints, so my perspective is that this job is so much less stressful and enjoyable. Especially for the wage.

Cons

Communication between management could be better (and I don't mean using Nextels). The Union aspect adds more complexity than I thought it would, but I am still learning the ropes. Production expectancy does seem pretty low.

Not worth the headaches

Inside sales representative

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Thought I would retire from ABF, but it wasn't meant to be... I worked there for 15 years

Supervisor assistant

Business Outlook

Pros

Most terminals that I worked for were like my second family. Good pay

Cons

the promotions are sometimes due to who you know in Ft Smith, Managers say they want to discuss issues so they can be resolved, but when you try to resolve the issue, you end up getting terminated
