Pros

New building with good technology and nice cafeteria and gym shared with other large companies. Smaller than the last building that was exclusive to ABG, but that one became a ghost town when they did massive layoffs so this one is a better fit.

Cons

Will not tell employees about confirmed security threats to the company despite the rest of the tenants in the building evacuating and shutting down for multiple days because of the threats specifically to ABG. We evacuated because we saw the others in the building doing so and police coming in. Otherwise, pay is far below that of competitors, little to no bonus in recent years, ancient and ineffective leaders who are just starting to turn over this year, and a business model that rewards employees at rental locations for overcharging customers.

Pros

-Company car and free gas

Cons

-Upper management runs like a dictatorship and pushes for results through inciting fear tactics on operations managers -Will require you to work 10+ hours munimum but realistically you work 12-14 hours, some days I have worked 18 hours -You are not paid extra for those hours and they will tell you the company car pays for those extra hours, let me tell you it is not worth it -You are micromanaged to the extreme and are called out for missing a goal or taks in front of management team and constantly berated for it, everyone on the management team had their turn -Good luck finding time for a meal break with the amount of chaos and rushes you will receive -Upper management expects you to run scheduling with bare bone staffing to cut costs, beware this will upset both your employees and customers when it gets busy -You will work all holidays, and most likely afternoon shifts until 3 - 4am daily -Mandatory daily scheduling work even on your off days -You will be treated worse than the employees who work for you and it is a thankless job -Absolutely no work-life balance -Some days you will spend the day asking customers to fill out surveys for 8+ hours straight at the returns section
