Pros

You can be stupid and lazy and never lose your job! ABM will hire almost anyone who applies online, there is no interview or any sort of face-to-face until you come in for orientation, at which point you are already hired!

Cons

ABM values their profit above all else! There is never enough time\labor to do the job they require and management expects 3 people to do the work of 10! ABM does not comply with current labor laws, such as sick leave and there are NO paid vacations, ever! The only time you will EVER get a raise is when the minimum wage goes up!

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!
