Pros

Job itself wasn't bad. Assisting customers with payment if needed, doing cleaning rounds every couple of hours, acting as backup security, and otherwise just sitting in the office watching the cameras and the exit doors.

Cons

Managers do not know which fights are worth fighting. I got verbally abused by a coworker for relieving him 2 minutes late. Now, while I understand being late is not okay, allowing a coworker to verbally abuse their peer is unacceptable to me. The manager decided to side with the abusive coworker and not reprimand them. In addition, when I went to pick up my final check, they could not track it down and it took hours before it was finally given to me. This speaks volumes of their disorganized nature as a company.

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!
