Pros

Uniform provided, easy job, direct deposit, if you don't have a criminal record and pass a drug test you're pretty much guaranteed to get hired.

Cons

Pay is lousy, meaning it's embarrassing to say what you make out loud even to yourself. Communication is horrific, staff will fail to show up for their shift because they are not aware they have been scheduled. Arbitrary decisions constantly due to lack of documented procedure. Management forever sends out memos that nobody looks at. The lack of professionalism is cringeworthy. Turnover is out of control.

Pros

Great people who don’t INTEND to cause harm. The company tries to do right by its frontline team members.

Cons

Everybody wants to outwork their co-workers to prove they should stay with the company. The company’s focus is completely muddled and confusing—when I was interviewed and hired, we were focused on facilities services. How did we end up with 98% of our focus on semiconductors, AI, and Data Centers? Eight months into my first year in the job, they did company-wide layoffs, increased our in-office days from 3 to 4, and gave me another person’s job (which I was barely trained for). For the next 7 months, the job became agonizing and torturous. I was expected to act as a director or executive, while being paid the salary and given the permission and ability of the lowest-paid on the team (which is what I was hired to be). The company has shady ways of getting rid of people and expecting everyone to act as if nothing happened. The culture has completely changed, as DEI is not the focus anymore, and it has become increasingly apparent. Finally, always remember, that for ABM, company margins are more important than the talent and people you hire!
