Pros

Pay is good in some areas, time can go by fast while working.

Cons

This company is a joke. First and foremost, they short people on their paychecks. This has happened numerous times to me and other coworkers. My very first paycheck, they gave me 1.50 less than my promised wage, shorted me 10 hours, some of which was overtime, and then blame it on payroll. It took them over a month to fix these mistakes. Now, 7 months later it’s happened again. I’ve been cut short of over 400 dollars pay as of 2 weeks ago and still have not been reimbursed for it. They never even bother to try and reimburse you unless you bug them about it. Their management is a joke. When I started, they told me who I’d be leading and sent me on my way. Barely any explanation on what my job duties actually would be, had to learn from past experience how to manage my team, as literally everyone who I worked with was new. Management only comes around when there’s some sort of issue that only they can resolve. Oh, and their benefits are basically nonexistent. No vacation, no sick, medical insurance is more like something you could find from the government to help you with going to the doctor’s a few times a year, and it’s 50 dollars a month. Not enough bad things I could say about this company. I will be getting out soon.

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!
