Pros

ABM in Warwick,RI is easy to find because it's near RI Route 295 South and is in the MetLife building which has a big sign out in front on the main road.Also the part-time hours are good for the disabled and retirees.

Cons

I worked at ABM for a little over a year and in that time I hardly ever heard the english language spoken which created a language barrier for me and when a fellow employee who mopped the ladies room floor forgot to put up a wet floor sign in which a customer of ABM fell on Tues.May 22nd 2018 I was also blamed for the incident because I didn't put up a sign after the incident happened even though I had my own job to do at the time which was vacuuming the carpet and also couldn't find any wet floor signs to put in the ladies room.As a result of this incident I received an employee corrective action notice on Thurs.May 24th 2018 in which I quit on Fri.May 25th 2018!

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!
