Pros
- I have never been given a hard time about taking PTO, and, if there is a schedule conflict, they work with me to find a more suitable date. - There is no micro-management involved in being a FM Manager. Though, I hear otherwise from those working in one of their Print Shops. - Pretty much an 8-5 M-F job. Some overtime (not often). Weekend work is very, very rare. - The work isn't very hard. You do not require a college degree to work here. There is a small learning curve as you go along, but as long as you have strong customer service skills, you should be fine.
Cons
- No payraise in 4 years; received 7% pay cut in January 2009. Only given one offical review during this time, with no raise. And I had to ask numerous times to get even that. - Little room for advancement. If they like you in your position, you will stay there forever until you leave the company for another opportunity. - The people judging your work day-to-day are people that are not employed by ABC (a FM Manager oversees the printing of a client company, so you are considered a "vendor", or "contractor" with the company you are working out of). If you are doing a good job, you know this by the fact that you will never hear from ABC Imaging at all, which I guess is good, but then again, this is probably why I don't get regular evaluations. They only talk to you when something is generally wrong. - Salaries are quite low. Would recommend that you have a part-time job to supplement your income.
