Pros

Reasonably nice guys, allegedly a Christian company

Cons

Too many inconsistencies between what you're told and what's reality. Equipment (trucks, trailers, tanks, etc) are poorly maintained - a very BAD situation for a company that deals in transporting hazardous materials. Dry rotted brake lines, leaking air bags, filthy trucks (inside and out!), check engine lights, damaged and defective hookups, this is NOT a safe company. They acquire equipment from other companies that they've purchased, but do nothing to maintain the equipment on a regular basis or as proactive measures. They have knowingly put defective equipment back on the road. The Charlotte terminal is over-ridden with shoddy equipment and people with a lackadaisical approach to insuring drivers are given safe equipment. This endangers their drivers and EVERYBODY on the road with them!

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%
