Pros

1. Decent bonus (Based on the performance of the company and not your own job performance) and 401k match 2. Overall, a positive and friendly work environment, but needlessly stuffy.

Cons

1. Only five paid holidays per year, and strict rules about use of your time off. (See #3). This can make Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc. difficult. 2. Promotions and advancements seem to be based on your ability to help the "right people" do less work. Experience, work ethic, and ambition are often unrewarded or unnoticed. 3. If you are considering accepting a position here, read the employee manual carefully (particularly time off and benefits) and give it some thought and compare it to similar positions elsewhere. There are people here who have nothing to do but enforce it. 4. Many professional positions are filled by people whose work experience and ability doesn't nearly fit their title or job description. 5. Pre-hire drug testing and ongoing random drug testing that you WILL eventually be subjected to, regardless of your position. If you're in a hiring position, it will slice out a noticeable portion of the applicant pool. If you're a professional and value your free time or don't want to have the ongoing worry about what effect a false positive might have on your reputation, career, or family, just look elsewhere.

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.
