Pros

This review is for Los Angeles office. Pros ? The job requirement is pretty basic. Therefore, it is pretty easy to get hired for any jobs in the office, especially if you are Chinese/Chinese American, White/Black or pretty young girls. Don't bother to apply to any jobs in the field if you are not speaking Spanish. Free Breakfast on Fri, birthday cakes, free parking, get paid in every two weeks.

Cons

This company doesn't want to keep their talents. It is super easy to become senior because people constantly quit after couple months working there due to the workload and the management. The paid is pretty low compared to the industry standard. Managers and executive are perverts. You will be the favorite in the office if you are one of those pretty YOUNG girls. Be prepared to stay until 10PM every nights during one week of month-end closing, then come back to work at 9AM. There has been many laid-off across the division. ABM decided to move all of finance and accounting functions to south and east coast. That means there will be more laid off 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!
