Nice Place To Work

It was a nice place to work, not a lot of room for advancement though. Could be boring at times and dealing with the general public for deliveries could be hard
Pros

Cons
Could be slow at times

Bad contracted workers i.e.UNION SCUM
Driver (Former Employee) – Omaha, NE – January 3, 2019
Benefits are great, pay is great, management is limited in employee structure. You work with the bottom of the barrel workers. What happen's when you can't get fired? Lazy,apathetic, ungrateful work force with no bar for how low you can go.
Need a career? This is the place.
Road Driver (Former Employee) – Carlisle, PA – January 2, 2019
ABF gave me the tools and education I needed to perform my job.
Management is willing to work with, and help you perform your job.
The hours are long, and performed mostly at night.
Overall, if you don't mind working long hours away from family, this is not a bad job. The benefits and salary will more than compensate.

Set own goals. No one staring over your shoulder while you work.
Cons
Long hours, mostly overnight. Time away from family.
Sales Representative
Inside Sales Representative (Former Employee) – Jacksonville, FL – December 20, 2018
I was very fortunate to begin my logistics career at ABF Freight. The Jacksonville office VP was a positive presence onsite. I still remember her saying, "When you're ripe, you rot, and when you're green, you grow." Meaning the team members should always strive to keep learning and bettering ourselves. Mistakes are expected as long as we grow from them.
My direct manager always took time to explain operational info and personally help team members with customer issues, which allowed us to understand how to handle those in the future. Her knowledge of LTL tariffs, Rules tariffs, and Accessorials was instrumental in building my career into an operational one after the ABF Jacksonville office closed.

Unions are great for slackers,but if you are a good worker,Abf is not for you
Mechanic (Former Employee) – Sauk Village, IL – December 2, 2018
l worked 28 years for Abf as a mechanic in the shop.The management sucked! For the future mechanics out there,if you're a slacker,Abf is the place for you.The more you do the more they give you to do.Instead of getting after the slackers they would over work the guys that worked. I would never refer anyone to work there,even if they bribed me with their 750 dollar finders fee!
Pros
Union benefits
Cons
Management
Office Clerk Experience

ABF Freight was a pleasant company to work for until they brought a change of operations on in 2014 and I was forced to seek other employment due to my low seniority with the company.

Don't know if you are coming or going
Road Driver (Former Employee) – Carlisle, PA – November 6, 2018
You have to start on the extra board, on call anytime. They give you 2 hrs notice. The money and benefits are very good. Just feels like you sell your soul for a paycheck
Pros
money, union scale
Cons
home time
Diversity trading needed
Driver/Operator (Former Employee) – Chicago, IL – October 28, 2018
Nothing to say about this company besides diversity trading is needed. The company needs better management and safety training and proper equipment for the drivers
Pros
Teamsters Benefits
Cons
Bigotry. Unprofessional management
Older company not able to compete in current market
Operations Supervisor (Former Employee) – Colorado Springs, CO – September 29, 2018
An older union company that is struggling to maintain its position in the market.Tremendous disadvantage with non union competitors due to its extra costs due to union labor. They have created savings by reducing the number of non union jobs and pay. Non union employees are second class citizens here, the company kowtows to the union employees at the non union employees expense. Old, outdated equipment makes it hard to get the job done due to frequent breakdowns and the repair expenses are exorbitant and get taken right out of the bottom line. This affects the profit numbers which affect bonus potential. Its a negative that you can't control but is used to downrate employee performance. Management is paid once a month which I didn't even know existed anymore.
Pros
Good training
Cons
12 hour work days, required to work on your days off with no compensation.
Good place to work
DOCKWORKER (Former Employee) – Sauk Village, IL – September 28, 2018
Good place, competitive pay. Relaxed atmosphere. Working in the heat and the cold can be rough, but it is worth it. I would fully recommend working here
Pros
The job in general
Cons
Working out in the cold
Fun place to work
Dock Worker/Forklift Operator (Current Employee) – Memphis, TN – September 27, 2018
Fun place to work and fun environment. Place for advancement. Management isnt5 the best, but still fun. As a part time employee, you never know when you'll work.
more goal driven then customer service
Account Manager (Former Employee) – Aston, PA – September 22, 2018
not afraid to let people go if unrealistic goals weren't met. Put people in management roles that are not qualified. Customers were not put first. Company as a whole was a good place to work for.
Pros
good salary
Cons
unrealistic goals
Terrible company all around
Operations Supervisor I (Former Employee) – United States – September 14, 2018
Do you like long hours with lazy unappreciative upper management? Do you enjoy being scapegoated after being thrust into a position you weren't prepared for? Do you like being lied to and bullied by people who could never do what you do in a thousand lifetimes? Welcome to ABF where you'll work an overnight shift where you have to work 65 hours a week. You'll find the management is "old school" which means they like to take long vacations, sit in their offices and go out on lunches every day while you handle the difficult, dirtier aspects of the job. Don't believe the hype around advancement, if you don't know someone in upper management you'll be stuck in a terrible position for upwards of two years. You'll be constantly expected to prove yourself to a group of people who don't know anything about your job but expect results. To top it off you'll be managing a union workforce that gets away with anything while you struggle to just keep your head above water.
Pros
Industry Knowledge
Cons
Long hours, Lazy incompetent management, unrealistic expectations and poor pay for the hours you work
