Pros

They hired me quick. I was looking for something between my internship and my graduation, for an unknown time period(was only a few weeks thankfully). Orientation went well (great job Nicki), but that's when I started seeing issues. Schedule was flexible, Mavriganis made it very easy to come and go as I pleased.

Cons

"we're a family run company" was the most popular answer there. This place would be 5 stars if you were part of the family and got to act the way the family does, but to move up you would have to really start sucking up. The justification for a lot of things was "because the Abts say so" instead of a logical approach "You can't ask who is calling because the Abts think it's rude" ........let's just play 100 questions instead of trimming the fat and getting right to the point.

We appreciate the feedback. Our core commitment to customers and rewarding hard-working employees has remained the same since we were a small storefront and we believe that is what has led to our continued growth over the last 86 years. Bob Abt made the decision to not screen calls many years ago for the simple reason that no matter who is calling, every customer is important. What we value is not sucking up, but rather, hard work. Promoting exemplary employees is common and nearly all of our managers and supervisors began in entry-level positions. We hope you enjoy the sweaters as they are quite comfortable!

Pros

There is potential to make good money

Cons

Management treats workers like they are in a high school popularity contest. Management rules by iron fist. Attitude of leadership brings the crowd down. No appreciation from management. Managers have no issue telling lies to pass the buck. Managers are giving orders to installers, when they do not know how to install. Zero concern of employees being qualified to install appliances, just get it done. I don’t believe the Abt family understands how there lower management have made working here unbearable.

All of our drivers, service and install managers have all been on the road in the past before getting their management position as we always like to promote within. It is well known to our staff that the Abt brothers have an "open door" policy. We also have driver meetings with our entire fleet to make sure your voice can be heard. Being with us for over 20 years you should know this. It is disappointing you chose to leave a review rather than speak with the Abt Family or upper management.

Pay is great and benefits are great!

Cons

Just don’t have time for family. Heavy lifting forsure! Lift fridges to the third floor with two people multiple times a day
