Pros
AMAZING management. Pleasant, reasonable, understanding of family/work balance. They are supportive and recognize/reward employees in various ways such as: positive reviews, verbal recognition, higher responsibility leading to advancement, and raises when applicable. This applies not only to individuals who go above and beyond, but also employees who do their best to keep improving. If you show up and do the job to expectation, or work to learn how, you will have a great experience working for ABM. (The pay was also 3-6 dollars above the current average for the position I had. And if you do your job every day the job is EASY and laid back. 60-80 percent of my work days I had hours between rounds to work on deep cleaning, and projects. As well as other tasks when I became Lead.
Cons
Honestly it's hard to think of a Con I personally experience with the exception of some Administrative type issues in Management. However both being a rather new site and management going through major staff changes I hesitate to call it a con. We were growing together and we were one of the only location outside of the cities. (At least in MN, with our client. ABM as a whole is in many states.) From my understanding some of the issues I experienced were not a problem for the larger close knit sites. Things that I think others may struggle with: it's not a M-F job, there's 3 different schedules that are available per seniority. You do still get 2 days in a row off. For those who enjoy overtime, there's rarely overtime and never really mandatory overtime. It's quite a bit of square footage . Again the job itself is pretty mild physical labor but it's A LOT of cardio lol. The site I was at was a warehouse and the safety policies for both cleaning bathrooms and cafeterias and being in the warehouse can be difficult to manage. Both ABM and the company we cleaned for had policies in place to keep staff and the client safe, it can be tedious and some people may prefer a different job. Again this isn't really a con for the company though.
