Really Bad.

Pros

Nothing, not one single thing.

Cons

There truly is no place worse to work. I could write paragraphs on the horrible experiences I have had but the best way to sum it up is this: Look at the other reviews on this site for ABG and really consider what others have taken time to write. I wish I had! However if you are dishonest and lazy, this is the place for you! Apply and you will be at least a VP in a matter of months. For anyone else who is hardworking and honest, do yourself a huge favor and steer clear of this place. You will be glad you did.

The worst of the worst!

Pros

It's a job, right? And if you're unemployed, you must accept the position or you lose your unemployment. Only after you accept does the torture begin.

Cons

Treated like crap, they love to haze people. I was more experienced than anyone else in my department, but was treated like an idiot. They threatened to dock my pay when they made a bad legal decision that I warned them about. I have heard from others that worked there that their pay WAS docked for this kind of thing, which is ILLEGAL. They also insist you work overtime FOR FREE, which is also ILLEGAL. Does the NYS Department of Labor know about this? The MOST unprofessional company I've ever worked for. It's like being on Survivor, without the $1 million payout. And you volunteer to be on Survivor. If they offer you a job, RUN AWAY!!!!
