Pros

The company's values are evident in every decision that's made and the people working here really function as a family. - Collaborative and friendly work environment - Open office design that actually works because of the collaboration that takes place. The corporate office is located downtown in a restored historic building - Leadership team is really open to new ideas and continuous improvement - Fast-paced, growth-oriented environment but there's no shortage of work-life balance - Balanced growth strategy - leadership believes in "earning the right to grow"

Cons

Some business units are still relatively immature so there is plenty of room for process development and/or improvement, technology implementation/upgrades, etc., but they're certainly on their way!

Pros

The IT Director and CTO are phenomenal. Communication is key in IT and their skills shine when a directive is given. There were many such cases in which a problem had arose in a random part of the company's workflow(typical events working in IT), and either the director or CTO already were able to provide a clear and sound solution for us to then execute. There were also times where it was slow, very few tickets trickling in and that is a sign that the current infrastructure and the processes they have implemented work very well. As it is a trucking company - they use the industry standard when it comes to their TMS provider, McLeod. I learned a lot in my career from Action, and the knowledge I gained from my Director and CTO is invaluable. If you are sick, or need to work remote in some cases, you are allowed to. Great location downtown with a lot of food options. Solid benefits

Cons

Although it is a great location, Action doesn't cover your parking fee and it is docked from your pay. Along with it being in the prime of downtown, you have to deal with the traffic getting in-and-out of Birmingham which is terrible. Homeless can be aggressive to the general populace in downtown 401k match is only 4%

Pros

Not really a whole lot

Cons

a whole lot of sitting with no pay. Claim to have plenty of work but don't see it. Frequent 400+ mile deadhead for short loads.
