Positive Reviews From ArcBest Employees

  • What makes you most happy at work?
    That I have a job (Career) that I enjoy and work towards making myself even better as a Supervisor.
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    What makes me most happy at work is getting to come to work every day with the best team and knowing that they are there to assist when needed and that also include leadership.
  • What is the best part about your compensation package?
    The best part about my compensation package is able to earn the bonuses but it would be better if it's a yearly because quarterly is not so much in my favor.

Constructive Feedback From ArcBest Employees

  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    Raises are not based on individual efforts, and are usually flat across the department. There is no advantage to owning stock as there is no ESO for the majority of salaried employees. Meaning that they have no interest in owning stock because they must invest in it at market value.
  • What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
    Poor communication and we fall through on promises that we make.
  • What would you improve about your company's interview process?
    The HireRight (I believe is what it's called.) Is very difficult to interview with. You are not actually speaking to someone and having conversation with you are staring at yourself in a screen trying to focus and keep your thoughts straight.
