As a current employee, not sure why you’d post up on Glassdoor rather than just come in and talk to one of your managers, HR or even one of the family members. Almost all of our managers have started in an entry level position and worked their way up in the company. We 100% encourage growth and are proud to have such long term employees. We are sorry you feel this way about our management. Again, please see your manager, HR or one of the brothers with any other complaints. One of them are here every day and they would be more than happy to listen.

Pros

Love this place. One thing I admire and notice when working with various helpers on my truck is the quality of people they hire. Almost everyone I’ve worked with has good morals and good manners. There are a set of rules I go by that Abt has instilled in me. Do not steal or lie, work hard, and make the customer happy. If you do those 4 things you will work here for as long as you want. I work with one of the owners son who is a great guy as well. Their entire family will be generous to you if you respect them and their family business. Do not listen to the negative reviews that these other people give. I have been coming to Abt since I was a kid and have really grown to care about the company. Our head manager for deliveries is very helpful as well. He gives every driver and helper his personal phone number so you can ask him any questions you might have. He was also a former driver/installer so he understands what we do and is always available to answer questions we may have on the road as well. Also very generous with time off which I love. One more thing - you get to see so many different places. I’ve been to famous peoples houses, the Hancock, wrigley field, the practice facility for the Blackhawks, and the list goes on. Great great company to be a part of.

Cons

I really can’t think of any. You get to ride around and see new places all day and make people happy. What’s bad about that?

As a five year plus, current employee, not sure why you’d post up on Glassdoor rather than just come in and talk to one of your managers, HR or even one of the family members. The bonus fund is extra pay on top of your hourly rate and was designed as an incentive to do the right thing for our customers and the store. The majority of staff really like the extra income paid out every four months. We agree the customer is not always right, only 99.9% of the time. Please understand we strive to keep our customers happy and truly care about them. Our motto “The answer is always YES to any reasonable request” has kept us going for over 83 years. We are sorry you feel this way about our management. Again, please see your manager, HR or one of the brothers with any other complaints. One of them are here every day and they would be more than happy to listen.
