Pros

Overall a good company. Upper management is extremely competent with an average of 30+ years of company experience at the corporate level. The work itself is challenging but definitely not for everyone; high stress and constant change. You have to be a glutton for punishment to work here. However, the difficulty of the job makes it worth while.

Cons

If you aren't able to produce results this isn't a job for you. Upper management will constantly hound you until you are able to be above goal. Then, after you meet them consistently the goals will be changed so they're back out of reach. It has taken a large effort on my part to be successful in managing my family and work life.

Pros

ABF is very selective in their hiring, and most everyone who works there is highly intelligent. They are very understanding of personal issues where timeoff is needed.

Cons

Career paths for many jobs are non-existent. Management is very departmentalized. They don't have a good system for development of employees.

Pros

ABF is a great company to work for as a whole. The people are wonderful and the upper management seems reliable and strong. Salary and overall employee satisfaction, however, varies between departments and the employee location. Despite economic hardships, the company as a whole has remained strong. Corporate headquarters are new, very clean, professional and well groomed grounds.

Cons

Working in the corporate headquarters is a blessing but there is limited availability for promotion. The company is good to promote from within, however there are rarely positions available that the everyday person may apply for that are not considered "lateral moves." It's very hard to move up.
