Pros

Plenty of pros for relatives/family friends of the CEO & CFO.

Cons

Beware of the fake friendliness of the HR department. I've seen a lot of good employees treated like garbage. CEO is unethical & full of hot air.

Thank you for your feedback; we value open communications and transparency. It is disheartening to read this one-star review, and we take ownership for ways you have been let down. We failed somewhere along the line in our communications, as the comments in the review reflect this, and from our perspective, we view it differently and are not in agreement. Since you are a current team member of ABG, we would encourage you to meet with HR to discuss these concerns in person. Especially the comment “Fake Friendliness of the HR department,” as we sincerely would like to gain a deep understanding and align on a productive and positive way to move forward. Thank you again for your feedback, and we look forward to connecting with you soon.
