Pros

Decent health insurance (though can be a little expensive) Work flexibility (possibly due to the boss I had) Covered parking deck across from the building Great coworkers Bonuses I enjoyed my time at Action Resources. I found it to be a great place to work and would have continued my employment there had I not relocated to a new city. I had a wonderful boss who made coming to work easy and pleasurable. The work atmosphere was very positive and I like that the President would often acknowledge me by name. The company is headquartered in a great area right in the heart of downtown Birmingham, just walking distance to restaurants and Railroad Park.

Cons

No company exists without its faults, however: Very cold indoor temperatures even during winter months. I wore a jacket inside 99% of the time I worked there, and coworkers often complained of the temperature to no avail. In the parking deck, there is falling debris from the ceiling due to the parking deck being very old that could possibly cause damage to your car or even hurt someone if it falls through their windshield. It is an open office layout so the office can be very loud. Talking on the phone can be a pain initially, but you will become accustomed to the loud atmosphere. One of the biggest issues I often dealt with was the lack of communication from terminal managers. At times, it made my job more difficult and frustrating. You earn 1 week of vacation after 1 year of employment, or accrue 47 minutes a week. That means it will take a little over 6 months of employment to earn 1 vacation day. This is very little compared to other companies of the same size where at least 1 week of vacation is given your first year.
